    Introductory Comments 1.

    Introductory Comments 1. Today we come to what some consider the heart of the book of James. It is also one of the most passages in the Bible. It is one that can easily be misunderstood.

    The disciples ‘reacted’ to the behavior of the Samaritans by wanting to harm them: Bad for bad, tit-for-tat. And is it not true of us today too? But what did Jesus say to His disciples and us today about it?

We live in an increasingly impatient world; we want and expect everything NOW, just like spoiled children. I was like that on Thursday afternoon when I was in a huge hurry ...read more
