As we learn through this series about what it God with Us really means, let us fix our eyes on the glory of the one who came to save, allowing the single greatest turning point in all of history to fill our minds and hearts with supernatural joy.

James reminded us in Chapter 2, and throughout this letter, that true faith involves action: we are to 'put feet to our faith'. James concludes his letter with an exhortation to fellow Christ-followers to go after those who have wandered from the truth. Believers are to look out for each other and encourage one another to remain steadfast in their commitment to Christ and obedience to God. If we see someone getting tangled up in sin, we ought to consider ways to love and lead that person to repent and seek God’s forgiveness. The true believer will then be restored and reconciled to Christ who forgives a multitude of sins.

What role does prayer play in your life? Is it a priority? Prayer is the key that unlocks the power of God to accomplish in us what we cannot on our own. Yet many of us fail to pray, communicating to God that we don't need his help, thus forfeiting access to his power. Jesus' prayer life modelled for us the essentiality of this discipline in the Christian life. Abide in him in prayer, then watch and see God's power unleashed!

The bible warns us that the Christian walk is never going to be easy and trials are a guarantee. When we encounter the storms of life, James cautions us to be prepared by seeking the wisdom from above that will give us the ability to persevere and weather the storm, knowing that God uses the difficulties in life to sanctify us, produce character within us and increase our faith and steadfastness. The challenges will undoubtedly come, bringing suffering and pain. But take heart: God's word provides the wisdom and encouragement to endure suffering with the faith that the Lord uses all things for our good and his glory.

When we celebrate the birth of Christ, do we seriously consider the mind-blowing reality that our omniscient, perfect God selflessly humbled himself and came to earth as a baby? In this incarnation, God did not forsake his divine nature or diminish his deity but instead he added to it, humanity. Christ's submission to the Father, all part of his great plan to redeem and to save. What an amazing gift, what an awesome God!
