To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Jude 24, 25

Jude is a close relative of Jesus, physically.  He has the heart of a pastor, and the gifts of a teacher.  He wrote his short letter to those who were following Jesus in good or evil times.

He reminds his readers to follow Jesus who has saved them because they can not fight the battles against the devil in their own strength, they need to live in the reality of Jesus’ victory.   The Lord does keep them from stumbling so that they can stand before Him without fault and with great joy.

If that is not enough, he goes on to speak words that describe the new reality.  The center of it all is God our Savior, to Him be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Jesus is the center of it all.  None of these spiritual blessings are possible without Him.  But with Him we are ushered into a new reality!  Redeemed life!
