Sermon Video: Be Patient, until the Lord's Coming - James 5:7-9
In light of the corruption and vice caused by the pursuit of, and attainment of, wealth outlined by James in verses 1-6, he now calls for patience on the part of the people of God. These injustices will of course be ended when Christ returns, for his disciples the task then is to persevere in faithfulness until that day. How long must we wait? The answer is unknowable, Abraham's promise that all nations would be blessed through him was about 2,000 years in its fulfillment through Jesus, the return of Christ could be tomorrow or it could be 10,000 years from now. When he will return is not our concern, we know that he will. We also know that it is the mercy and love of God which delays this promised return, allowing more time for the ranks of those redeemed by the blood of the lamb to swell ever more full.
In the end, we must simply stand firm, fulfill our mission as a Church, working together for the sake of the Gospel. He will one day return, for now, we need to be about his business, patiently.
