patience and inheritance {James 1:1-2}
"Long-suffering" is really important in the life of faith Patience and perseverance are essential life skills that believers must keep when they keep their faith and the Word. “He said that he would be saved. James, whom we will come across, emphasizes “patience.” Starting today, we will look at the book of James and share the grace of God.
I. The text of James {1}
1}James is {Jacobos}, which is derived from the Hebrew word 'yaakob'.
To introduce James in the Bible, there are several {1}Jesus, a disciple of Jesus, son of Zebedee, and older brother of John. He was called like Peter in the early days of Jesus' ministry. 17:1 26:37 Luke 8:51} Just as Jesus called James and John "sons of thunder" {Mark 3:17} It seems that they were called so because of their fiery personalities {Mark 10:35-40 Luke 9: 51-56} {2}James, son of Alphaeus and disciple of Jesus {Matthew 10:3 Mark 3:18 Luke 6:15 Acts 1:13} James the son of O was called "James Soja" {3}Jesus' brother James appears {Matthew 13:55, Mark 6:3
Gal 1:19} From the beginning, James, the brother of Jesus, did not believe that Jesus, his brother at the time, was the Messiah {John 7:5} However, it can be seen that he acted with the apostles after the crucifixion {Acts 1:14} The James mentioned in 15:7 has no cause for doubt as James the brother of Jesus.
There is James the son of Mary {Matthew 27:56 Mark 15:40 16:1 Luke 24:10} There is James the father of Judas {Luke 6:16 Acts 1:13}
2} How does James introduce himself?
James introduced himself as "a servant of Christ," perhaps as "a brother or sister of Christ." Just by looking at the introduction as "servant", you can see that "he humbled himself and saw his older brother Jesus as the Messiah rather than as a human being." When the Apostle Paul used the word servant. It should be remembered that it is used more in the sense of "slave" rather than just "slave" Romans 1:1 Phil 1:1 Titus 1:1 says "bound slave" or slave There is a difference between slave and slave Most A slave can be redeemed, but a slave cannot be redeemed {the situation at that time}. Therefore, the slave's right to life and liberty rests with the master. As eternal slaves, let's not forget that we too are "slaves" who remain forever with the Lord. My right to life, sovereignty, freedom, and right belong to the Lord.
3} What are the 12 tribes that James greets?{1}
The 12 tribes are each tribe of Israel divided by the names of the 12 sons of Jacob. The text refers to Jews and Christians scattered all over the world {2:1 5:7} Then why were the Christians scattered everywhere? Jesus had already prophesied that Jews and Christians would be scattered in all directions {Matthew 26:31} Also, at the Last Coming, the Lord said that he would send angels and gather the elect from the four ends of the earth {Mark 13:27} And to gather the elect into one, Jesus carried the cross (John 12:50)
The reason that Christians went out and were scattered in all directions was because of the persecution and persecution that arose in the early church {Acts 8:1} James greeted the Christians who were scattered because of this persecution{1} Here the word "scattered" { diaspora} is
Lesson: Jesus died on the cross to gather and save the elect {Mark 13:27} The elect received Christ and became God's children, transcending lineage, race, nation and nation. However, the early church members were Jews and Romans. They were persecuted due to their collusion and became a diaspora Let's keep in mind that problems arise between saints and saints.
II.Reason for patience
1} When you encounter difficulties, consider them completely happy.
*What we should always rejoice in is that there is a way of escape in problems, and that God will surely help us to endure the trials that God gives {1 Corinthians 10:13 Heb 12:18 2 Peter 2:9 Revelation 3:10} Let's remember that {Genesis 22:1 Deuteronomy 8:2 1 Kings 3:5 John 6:5-6}
