[571.92 --> 573.44] at the beginning of chapter 5 |
[573.44 --> 574.80] where he writes this. |
[574.92 --> 575.62] Now listen. |
[575.86 --> 577.18] So same phrase again |
[577.18 --> 578.78] as the first scenario. |
[578.94 --> 579.54] Now listen, |
[579.68 --> 580.20] you who say. |
[580.74 --> 581.76] Chapter 5, verse 1. |
[581.76 --> 583.48] Now listen, you rich people. |
[583.80 --> 584.64] Weep and wail |
[584.64 --> 585.60] because of the misery |
[585.60 --> 586.74] that is coming on you. |
[587.56 --> 587.96] Be careful. |
[588.18 --> 588.84] He hits hard. |
[589.34 --> 590.52] Your wealth has rotted. |
[590.70 --> 591.60] Your moths have eaten |
[591.60 --> 592.32] your clothes. |
[593.08 --> 594.08] Your gold and silver |
[594.08 --> 594.82] are corroded. |
[596.16 --> 597.20] Their corrosion |
[597.20 --> 598.64] will testify against you. |
[598.76 --> 600.04] Eat your flesh like fire. |
[600.20 --> 601.28] You've hoarded wealth |
[601.28 --> 602.20] in the last days. |
[602.36 --> 603.12] Look, the wages |
[603.12 --> 604.28] that you failed to pay |
[604.28 --> 604.86] the workers |
[604.86 --> 606.34] who moved your fields |
[606.34 --> 607.76] are crying out against you. |
[608.02 --> 609.70] The cries of the harvesters |
[609.70 --> 610.56] have reached the ears |
[610.56 --> 611.38] of the Lord Almighty. |
[611.38 --> 612.80] You've lived on earth |
[612.80 --> 614.54] in luxury and self-indulgence. |
[614.68 --> 615.72] You've fattened yourselves |
[615.72 --> 616.70] in the day of slaughter. |
[617.06 --> 617.74] You've condemned |
[617.74 --> 618.52] and murdered |
[618.52 --> 619.70] the innocent one |
[619.70 --> 621.22] who was not opposing you. |
[623.14 --> 624.68] And here James characterizes |
[624.68 --> 626.46] people who oppress others |
[626.46 --> 628.06] for their own gain. |
[629.22 --> 630.38] And I suspect that |
[630.38 --> 631.78] James isn't necessarily |
[631.78 --> 632.94] targeting the people |
[632.94 --> 634.54] to whom he's actually writing |
[634.54 --> 636.06] because they likely |
[636.06 --> 637.14] weren't the rich |
[637.14 --> 638.38] and wealthy people. |
[638.38 --> 640.80] But the condemnation |
[640.80 --> 641.66] of such people, |
[641.76 --> 642.88] the judgment upon |
[642.88 --> 643.74] such people, |
[644.74 --> 645.92] isn't so much |
[645.92 --> 647.38] to point them out |
[647.38 --> 648.88] as it is to create |
[648.88 --> 649.54] a background |
[649.54 --> 650.88] for the real point. |
[650.96 --> 651.72] And the real point |
[651.72 --> 653.00] that James is trying to make |
[653.00 --> 654.20] is that with a view |
[654.20 --> 655.02] to eternity, |
[655.44 --> 656.72] you not only can endure |
[656.72 --> 657.32] hardship, |
[657.78 --> 659.16] but you can also endure |
[659.16 --> 659.86] the hardship |
[659.86 --> 661.48] of that kind of oppression |
[661.48 --> 663.14] that people place |
[663.14 --> 663.96] upon you |
[663.96 --> 665.38] or that circumstances |
[665.38 --> 666.80] place upon you |
[666.80 --> 668.90] and the assurance |
[668.90 --> 670.02] that God |
[670.02 --> 671.48] will make it right, |
[672.04 --> 672.66] not you. |
[674.50 --> 675.24] In other words, |
[675.44 --> 676.42] waiting patiently |
[676.42 --> 677.58] for the Lord's coming |
[677.58 --> 678.56] reminds us |
[678.56 --> 679.46] of those two |
[679.46 --> 680.56] critical things |
[680.56 --> 681.84] that one, |
[681.94 --> 683.18] we are not in control, |
[683.36 --> 684.14] we do not own |
[684.14 --> 684.92] our own lives, |
[685.58 --> 686.22] and two, |
[686.58 --> 687.72] when we are mistreated |
[687.72 --> 689.00] or when we think |
[689.00 --> 690.96] we're suffering hardship, |
[691.58 --> 693.78] God will set things right. |
[694.78 --> 696.24] So living in the light |
[696.24 --> 697.00] of eternity |
[697.00 --> 698.58] solidly roots |
[698.58 --> 700.48] our connection to God |
[700.48 --> 701.68] no matter what |
[701.68 --> 702.46] the circumstances |
[702.46 --> 704.78] of our life are. |
[705.66 --> 706.58] Maybe you're familiar |
[706.58 --> 708.08] with Francis Chan, |
