نامۀ یعقوب رسول

فصل پنجم

هُشدار به ثروتمندان ظالم

۱ ای ثروتمندان! بروید به خاطر آن بلاهایی که بر سر شما خواهد آمد، گریه و زاری کنید. ۲ ثروت شما تباه گشته و لباسهای تان را کویه خورده است. ۳ طلا و نقرۀ شما زنگ زده خواهد شد و زنگ زده گی آن شاهدی خواهد گردید بر ضد خود تان و مانند آتش، بدن شما را خواهد سوزاند. زیرا شما حتی تا این روزهای آخر هم به جمع آوری ثروت مصروف هستید. ۴ مزد کارگرانی را که زمین شما را درو کرده اند، آگاهانه نپرداخته اید و ناله های دروگران شما به گوش خداوند متعال رسیده است. ۵ شما در این دنیا به عیش و نوش پرداخته اید و دلهای خود را مانند گوسالۀ چاق برای آن روز قربانی آماده کرده اید. ۶ شما بالای یک شخص عادل و نیک قضاوت بد کرده اید و در حالی که هیچ مقاومتی نمی کرد، او را کُشتید.

صبور باشید و دعا کنید

۷ ای ایمانداران! تا روز آمدن سَروَر ما عیسای مسیح صبور باشید، همان گونه که دهقان برای برداشت حاصل پُر ارزش زمین، با صبر منتظر بارانهای خزانی و بهاری می ماند، ۸ شما نیز صبور بوده و قوت دل داشته باشید، زیرا آمدن سَروَر ما نزدیک است.

۹ ای ایمانداران! بر ضد یکدیگر شکایت نکنید، تا بر شما نیز داوری نشود. زیرا داور عادل آماده است که بیاید. ۱۰ ای ایمانداران! صبر و تحمل پیامبران را که به نام خداوند سخن می گفتند، برای خود سرمشق بسازید. ۱۱ ما اشخاص صبور و بردبار را خوشبخت می دانیم. شما دربارۀ صبر و بردباری ایوب شنیده اید و کاری را که خداوند در آخر با او کرد، می دانید. خداوند بی نهایت رحیم و مهربان است.

۱۲ ای ایمانداران! مهم این است که سوگند نخورید، نه به آسمان، نه به زمین و نه به هیچ چیز دیگر و دقت کنید که بلی شما بلی باشد و نخیر شما نخیر، تا مورد بازخواست خدا قرار نگیرید.

دعای با اثر

۱۳ اگر کسی از شما در مصیبت قرار دارد، پس او باید دعا کند. اگر کسی از شما خوشحال است، سرود بخواند. ۱۴ اگر کسی از شما مریض است، از رهبران کلیسا بخواهد تا برای او دعا کنند و به نام خداوند بدن او را با روغن مسح کنند. ۱۵ دعایی که از روی ایمان باشد، بیمار را شِفا خواهد داد. خداوند او را از بستر مریضی بلند خواهد کرد و اگر مرتکب گناهی شده باشد، بخشیده خواهد شد. ۱۶ به گناهان تان پیش یکدیگر اعتراف کنید و برای یکدیگر دعا کنید تا شِفا یابید. دعای شخص عادل با قدرت اثر می کند. ۱۷ الیاس یک انسان مانند ما بود. ولی وقتی از صمیم قلب دعا کرد که باران نبارد، سه سال و شش ماه در آن سرزمین باران نبارید. ۱۸ بعد او دوباره دعا کرد که باران ببارد و از آسمان باران بارید و زمین بار دیگر حاصل داد.

۱۹ ای ایمانداران! اگر کسی از شما از راه راست دور شود و شخص دیگری او را دوباره به راه راست برگرداند، ۲۰ این را بدانید که هر کسی یک گناهکار را از راه غلط باز گرداند، او را از مرگ نجات خواهد داد و گناهان بی شماری را خواهد پوشانید.

Prayer - Fellowship With God

Prayer - Fellowship With God (With You)
Prayer is talking to God and confiding in Him. When we pray, God is more interested in our hearts than in our words. In prayer, we should bring what we have in our hearts to God, not just repeat the words we have memorized to God or words that we don’t understand. In prayer, God is more interested in establishing a relationship with us than anything else. He wants words that come from the bottom of our hearts, not just special formal words.

Warning to the Rich

Warning to the Rich (With You)
When we look at these verses, we see how the rich exploit the helpless and oppressed. They take advantage of their energy and hard work, and do not pay them. God hears the cries of such people and sends pain and suffering to the rich who love money. From these verses we learn that whether we are employers or workers, we must recognize that God is present in our lives, and we must do what is right.

Be Patient and Pray

Be Patient and Pray (With You)
We will encounter problems, hardships and difficulties, according to God's will, to test our faith. God wants to grow us through these tough situations, and to improve our responses and attitudes. If we complain and criticize in times of hardship and persecution, we have in fact complained to God. But the good news is that the real Judge, Jesus Christ, is coming again. He hears our complaints and protests. He will soon return to judge this world. He will judge everyone—believers and unbelievers.

A Warning to the Rich People

A Warning to the Rich People (The Epistle of James: Faith That Works)
Rich people need to rely on God and not on their wealth. Rich and wealthy people have to help others who are in need. Jesus in Matthew 6:19-24 gives us a guideline that we should store our wealth in heaven, which means we should help others, be kind and love others. Rich people should also practice justice and righteousness. Some rich people are using poor people for their own advantage or they do not give proper wages to their workers. God is the judge and He sees everything. It does not matter if we are rich or poor, we all have to seek God’s kingdom and rely on God in our daily lives. We cannot rely on our own wealth or power or fame.

Patience and Praying

Patience and Praying (The Epistle of James: Faith That Works)
James 5:7-12 teaches us that we should be patient during life challenges. You might ask how long we have to be patient? The answer is till the Lord comes back. When the Bible teaches us to be patient, we have hope and are active in sharing the Gospel. Usually, people swear when they do not have patience. Swearing does not change anything and does not help either. The Bible is clear that we should not swear.

Prayer and Healing

Prayer and Healing (The Epistle of James: Faith That Works)
James 5:13-20 teaches us the importance of prayer in our Christian life. The Christian life starts with a prayer of faith in Jesus and ends with prayer. We pray in the morning when we wake up to thank God for the day, and we pray at night when we go to sleep and give our life to Jesus. Jesus can heal us from our sins and our physical/emotional sickness as well. All Christians experience the healing touch of Jesus in life. Let’s continue to pray and ask Jesus to heal us, our families and our land.
