A New Community Ethic/ April 19, 2020

Peter Fitch continues the study on James. Today he looks at Ch. 2:1-13. The new community desires poor people and wealthy people to be treated in the same way. As we read closely, we learn that all “face value” judgments of people are wrong and get in the way of what God is trying to do. We can live in a world of division and judgment where some people feel superior to others or we can live in an atmosphere where everyone tries to “love others as they love themselves.” One is the realm of “judgment.” The other is the realm of “mercy.” We can’t live in both at the same time.
