We gaze into the perfect Law of freedom, and it is like looking in a mirror. Therefore, to become a doer of the Word, we must attend to our own actions. In this chapter of James' letter, there is one concept repeated: humble yourselves. Here are some questions to help sharpen our view in the mirror:- There are many action words in this chapter: make war, covet, possess and so on. Which of the actions James describes are typical of the enemy that prowls the world seeking the ruin of souls?
- In contrast, which of the actions are the actions we see in the great saints like Blessed Charles Lwanga and his companions?
- Jesus also lived out many of the actions James describes. Which actions?
- Combo question: which of the actions of Jesus and the saints (questions 2 and 3) are absolutely impossible for the enemy to attempt?
- How many different works of mercy are there, anyway?
- Now that you have looked in the mirror... which of the actions of Jesus and the saints can you improve on in your own life?
