Welcome to reach and teach devotions.
This devotion is gleaned from my own devotional time with the Lord and study of God's word. I am no bible teacher, just an ordinary believer who loves God, God's word and God's people. God still speaks through his word, as Ezra says Open the book, God speaks through his word.
Below the devotion is a resource centre which have many links that you can listen to and pray for.
You will also find a link to my previous devotions on the Bottom line website, and you can access thousands of other English devotions.
My devotion is not copyrighted and therefore you are free to share it with as many people as you wish, especially on social media platforms.
If you are a pastor, you can use it for a sermon or sermon outline.
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
