In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. About MLK Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. was an American clergyman, activist and a leader in the
African American civil rights movement.
Kings biggest goal was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States.
He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955. The Montgomery Bus Boycott was
A protest campaign intended to rise against the city’s policy of racial
segregation. Whites were intended to take the front rows on the bus while the
blacks were forced towards the back rows of the bus.
At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have
received the Nobel Peace Prize. After being notified that he had been selected,
King announced that he would turn over the prize money of $54,123 to further
the civil rights movement.
King had been arrested roughly around twenty times.
He had been awarded five honorary degrees.
In 1963 he was named Time Magazines “Man of the Year”.
3. Early Life
Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta Georgia on January 15, 1929.
MLK Jr. was the son of Michael King. His father originally named him Michael
King as well until they traveled to Germany in 1934, where his father changed
both their names to Martin Luther after the German protestant leader Martin
Luther.
MLK Jr. attended Booker T. Washington High School, he only attended 10th 11th
grade and skipped 9th and 12th, entering Morehouse College at age 15 without
formally graduating High school. He graduated from Morehouse with a degree
in sociology.
After Morehouse King began doctoral studies at Boston University in
systematic theology and received his Doctor of Philosophy.
King got married to a women named Coretta Scott in 1953. He then became
pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery Alabama.
4. March on Washington
On august 28, 1963, over 250,000 people gathered up at the Washington
Monument to March to the Lincoln Memorial, as a nonviolent protest. Before
the march began the police gathered up thousands of men to look over the
march, expecting the protest to be violent and harmful. But it turned out that
it was a peaceful march, no police officers were ever needed. This entire protest
was covered by CBS on live television. At the Lincoln Memorial many speakers
spoke, including the “Big Six”. The “Big Six” consisted of six civil rights leaders.
James Farmer, John Lewis, A. Phillip Randolph, Roy Wilkins, Whitney Young,
and the famous Martin Luther King Jr. This Is where King made his “I Have a
Dream” speech. When King stepped up CBS immediately cut off normal
broadcastings on the television to replace it for his speech.
5. “I Have a Dream”
In the first paragraphs of Kings “I Have a Dream” speech, he mainly describes
the historical background of racial segregation. He speaks about Abraham
Lincoln and how without him and the signing of the Emancipation
Proclamation, put them where they are today. The Emancipation Proclamation
consists of two executive orders, the first one stating the freedom of all slaves in
the Confederate States, and the second, which was issued a few months after
the first, stated ten states where the Emancipation Proclamation would apply.
King then moves on to the situation now and what it ought to be. How a
hundred years after the Emancipation was issued, black people are still not
free, how they are still being discriminated against and segregated from others.
He talks about the Declaration of Independence, how all men, including black
men, have the right of life and the pursuit of happiness. He tells the people
standing before him that he believes that one day blacks and whites will stand
as equals, that they will have there citizenship and will be able to live the lives
in which they are supposed to.
