James chapter 1

James, a servant[a] of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,

JAMES THE MAN

So, who was this man, James?

He was the half-brother of our saviour; he was the natural offspring of Mary and Joseph. Jesus of course was born supernaturally through the holy spirit.

He was the leader of the Jerusalem church; much is written about him in the book of Acts.

HE HAD A POWERFUL EXPERIENCE

In Mark chapter 3, James, his mother and his brother and his mother thought Jesus was mad, so what happened. The answer is the cross and resurrection of Jesus, this is a life changing experience. Every person who comes into contact with the above is never the same. People like Paul and James, who think Jesus is mad, are now slaves of Jesus Christ.

HE HAD A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP

Everyone like James who comes into contact with Jesus, comes into a personal relationship. Christianity is about a relationship, it is not about religion, it is the only faith, where you can have a personal relationship with God, why because God steps down into human history.

HE WAS PERMANENTLY TRANSFORMED

When people come into contact with Jesus, they are totally transformed, James was changed and millions have been changed over the last 2,000 years.

So, who is James, He is you and me. 

Jesus changed the life of James and he can change yours too.

God bless you
