Pondering Scripture with Jeremiah Cox

James continues his discussion of enduring trials by giving attention to trials of two specific groups of Christians - the poor and the rich. Any Christian, no matter their social status or financial status, needs to focus on the spiritual. The poor man has riches in heaven, as does the rich man, but the rich man must view his physical possessions as temporary.
