Trials and temptations in the life of a Christian, wealth and poverty, godly wisdom, these are some of the key themes we will be discussing over the next couple of months as we go through the Letter from James.
We come today to the end of a first-century sermon written by an author trained in Jewish rabbinical tradition. He wrote this to a congregation of Jewish Christian believers, probably residing in Rome. He has encouraged them to remain faithful to Jesus no matter what. And he wants them to understand that knowing and following Jesus is far and away better than any religious tradition they can ever find anywhere else.
