"Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom." (James 3:13)

This book was almost certainly written by Jesus' brother and guess what? His name wasn't James! The original language reveals that his name was actually Jacob. Our English versions refer to him as James because our first translation was authorized by King James who, for what it's worth, allegedly requested to see his name in the Bible. But back to Jacob or James. He didn't always believe that his brother Jesus was the Messiah until Jesus resurrected from the dead. That'll do it! Years later, James wrote these words to the Jewish members of the early church encouraging them to walk in meekness and honor. James hadn't always done that, but truly knowing who Jesus truly is has a way of humbling us. He's the one who should be exalted and He's where the joy is!
