A Faith For All Circumstances (James 5:1-12) When others cause pain

A warning to the oppressor (v. 1-6)

What the rich had done to the poor! The rich had hoarded their wealth rather than share it with others, v. 2-3. The rich had gained their wealth by cheating workers of their wages, v. 4. The rich had lived a life of luxury and wanton pleasure, v. 5. The rich had misused their power in condemning and killing the poor, v. 6.

God’s response to oppression! “Weep and howl for the miseries coming upon you!” “..you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter” One may get by with hurting people here; but he will not get by with it at the judgment seat of God!

Exhortations to the oppressed (v. 7-12) Be patient until the coming of the Lord. Strengthen your hearts. Do not complain against one another. Follow the example of the prophets. Remember how God deals with those who are patient! Do not swear.

Faith can help when life is hard and unfair, when others mistreat and abuse us. Someone else’s sin never gives us the right to do wrong! We must live right even when others are mistreating us. Our trust is in God who will judge the wicked for their sins.
