If everyone is shown mercy by God, then how can we withhold mercy? This passage confronts the church for showing favoritism within their community. James challenges us to confront and overcome biases, superiority, judgment, and pride, reflecting God’s impartial love for all. Living this way is not merely morally right, but strikes at the heart of the gospel.
Lent season is upon us! Use this time to reflect on what Jesus has done for us.
