EXTENSIVE TEACHING ON THE EPISTLE OF JAMES BEGINS TODAY! Unleashing the truth of God's Word one verse at a time!
JAMES, A BONDSERVANT OF GOD AND OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST (James 1:1) - PART 1
If the author was the Lord's half-brother, as we believe, then a wonderful change had come into his life. At one time, He had not believed in the Lord Jesus (John 7:5). He may have shared the view that Jesus was out of His mind (Mark 3:21). Our Lord patiently sowed the seed of the word. Though unappreciated, He taught the great principles of the Kingdom of God. The seed took root in the life of James, and a mighty transformation resulted. The skeptic became a servant, and he was not ashamed to say so!
James honors the Son just as He honors the Father (John 5:23). James knew that "no man can serve two masters" (Matthew 6:24), yet He spoke of Himself as a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus. There is no contradiction here because God the Father and God the Son are co-equal.
