Episode notes
Transformation Of Jesus' Half-Brother
- Jacob (James) was Jesus' half-brother who moved from mocking Jesus to serving him and leading the Jerusalem church.
- His change shows the transformative power of encountering Jesus and culminates in his martyrdom.
Written To Believers In The Diaspora
- The letter targets believers in the diaspora, not a list of works to earn salvation.
- Context shows the actions described are markers of genuine faith, not a works-based gospel.
Ask God Daily For Wisdom
- Ask God for wisdom regularly because He gives it to anyone who asks.
- Use that wisdom to persevere through trials, resist temptation, and grow toward wholeness.
