We know they were men of faith and worked for the benefit of the 1st Century congregation. What made Jesus "special" was not just the geneology, but his "means" of becoming a human descendent of David. While James and Jude had as much legal right as Jesus, they were both born as imperfect humans, who could never meet the needs of the ransom that Jesus could. [/QUOTE]
