We are to the end of Jude's letter.  He is often a forgotten writer, maybe because he was not as prolific as Paul, or Peter, or John.  But he has important things to say to us.

Jude leaves us with a blessing.  Jude 1: 24-25, "Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.  To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, and dominion and power, both now and ever.  Amen."

So many great thoughts:

1.  He will keep you from falling.  He saves us.  He keeps us.
2.  He will present us faultless.  What a miracle of grace.
3.  We will be in the presence of his glory.  There is a song that says: "I can only imagine."
4.  We will be filled with exceeding joy.  Joy unimaginable.  What a day that will be.

Jude ends with a benediction.  He glorifies God our Savior and acknowledges God's majesty, dominion and power.

The thing is, whether the world acknowledges it or not, God is all powerful and has dominion over the world we live in as well as the world to come.  Someday, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.  Wouldn't it be a blessing if people could do that now rather than when it is too late.  That would be heaven on earth.
