Jude

Judas (not Iscariot) asks why Jesus will reveal Himself to the disciples but not to the whole world — a sharp, curious question that prompts Jesus to explain how divine intimacy is tied to love and obedience.

Jude is writing his greeting, deliberately identifying himself as a servant rather than Jesus' brother, and immediately anchoring readers in the assurance that they are 'kept' by God before any warnings begin.

Jude (Judas son of James) is listed here as one of the twelve — carefully distinguished from Judas Iscariot, he is the apostle who will later ask Jesus why He reveals Himself only to the disciples and not the world.
