Years after Jesus was resurrected, James had become a pastor himself and wrote his letter to the recipients of the twelve tribes of Jewish Christians that are “scattered abroad” (James 1:1). He was, at one time, not a support of Jesus’s ministry and even challenged Jesus because he didn’t understand what Jesus was trying to achieve (John 7:2-5).
James, believed to be one of the brothers of Jesus, shared this letter years after Jesus died and was resurrected back to heaven.
When people think about the book of James, they can probably attest to one or two words of wisdom they have gained from James that have impacted them.
