James 5:
7-20
Be patient, therefore,
brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer
waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it,
until it receives the early and the late rains. You
also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the
Lord is at hand.
If patience is a virtue, it is a
neglected one. With the cultural pressures to produce, perform, and
consume, there is no time for being patient. Any bump in the
road must be leveled, every risk must be mitigated, and every
hardship must be averted or out-sourced. Can the toils and
struggles of a farmer or a prophet teach us anything of value as we
follow Christ through hardship and suffering? James thinks so.
Join us as we complete our study on the book of James.
