As leader of the Jerusalem church, what words of encouragement
would James write to these persecuted Christians? Perhaps a little
surprisingly, his key message was: faith works. Genuine belief
inevitably transforms our speech, suffering, compassion for the
poor, humility, prayers, priorities, and, frankly, every other
aspect of life. In 5 chapters James introduces and briefly touches
upon a whole variety of issues that concern the new believers. In a
simple, forthright style he urges them to live out their faith,
knowing that God's grace is sufficient for every trial and that
there is a value and purpose to their suffering. James' own life
illustrated this message. He had grown up with Jesus and was
naturally sceptical about his brother's Messianic claims. But a
post-resurrection encounter with Jesus revolutionised his life. He
was transformed from a vocal critic into a key leader of the early
church and prime mover in the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15).
