James 5: 9-12 Stop It!
James has been talking to us about what it looks like when you are living a life dependent on Jesus. We have talked about worry, asking for wisdom, resisting sin, the self-indulgence of money, and a host of other things… last week we started on the subject of patience by discussing the end times and the patience of waiting for the coming of the Lord.
This week we will delve further into patience and what it looks like to emulate or make Jesus get his glory.
7) Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. (8) You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.
(9) Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
(10) As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
(11) Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
(12) But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.
