Epistle of James - Part 1

Pentecost

The only difference between us and the saints is that they yielded to the Holy Spirit. Many of us struggle and try to conquer our sins and passions through sheer willpower, but it's only through the grace of the Holy Spirit that we are able to resist our sins and move closer to God.

That Your Joy May Be Full

In the Gospel today Christ tells his disciples and by virtue us that in this world we will have trouble and tribulation and that in Him we 'may' have peace. One is definitive and the other is contingent on us. One will come upon us inevitably and the other will not. So then let us press into God begging Him and pleading Him for His mercies. For Christ is the only true joy giver, who alone is able to comfort us and support us in all our tribulations and adversities. For He alone has overcome the world.

Endurance

Christ calls us to endure and to persevere to the end, for he who does so will receive the crown of Life. We may many opportunities within each day where those around us may unjustly say something against us and it is this very moment that the Lord gives to us so that we may persevere and endure all things for the sake of love.

Healed

Sometimes we come to Christ to be healed, but instead begin to rationalise how we must be healed. What processes are involved and how we should be treated. Instead we ought to come to Him with no agenda or preconceived notions in our mind. Only then shall we like the woman at the well, be saved and drink of the Living Water.
