Hey Jude! Showing Thanks to God for Salvation

Abstract
I find it marvelously appropriate that following close on the heels of the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday that the Come Follow Me curriculum explores the Letter or Epistle of Jude.
Like the author of the Letter of James, the Letter of Jude was written by Jesus’s younger half-brother. Jude is a shortened form of the ancient Israelite name Judah. What is so fitting in this season of thankfulness is that Judah means Thanks! More specifically, the name Judah means “to praise” and by extension “one worthy of thanks.”
Who is the object of our praise and thanks? Jude’s older brother Jesus. That is something we all have in common with Jude. Jesus is our older brother.
