James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

Living a Christ-centered life that produces fruit is the natural outcome of a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. In 2026, many believers desire spiritual growth but struggle to see lasting change because their focus is divided between Christ and the pressures of everyday life. Jesus made it clear that fruitfulness does not come from human effort alone, but from remaining connected to Him. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). A Christ-centered life begins with abiding in Jesus daily and allowing Him to shape every area of life.

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

Life has a way of stripping us down during seasons of struggle. Dreams feel delayed, prayers seem unanswered, and identity becomes blurred by pain, loss, or uncertainty. Yet Scripture shows us that struggle is often the very place where God reveals who we truly are and whose we are.

The timeline surrounding the death of King Herod provides another important biblical clue that challenges the idea that Jesus was born on December 25th. When the Gospel of Matthew is examined carefully, it becomes clear that the events connected to Jesus’ birth, the visit of the Magi, the flight into Egypt, and Herod’s death span a period of time that does not align with a late December birth. Scripture itself shows that Jesus was already a young child before Herod died, making a December birth highly unlikely.

The census recorded at the time of Jesus’ birth was not an arbitrary event, nor was it conducted during the harsh conditions of winter. Scripture, historical practice, and practical realities all indicate that Roman censuses were organized around times when travel was safest and when people had the means to pay taxes most commonly after harvest season. This timing directly challenges the idea that Jesus was born on December 25th.

Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
2 And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely.
3 O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

Teachings about God – The First Gospel shows God in action, taking the initiative in fulfilling the Scriptures about the coming Messiah. It teaches about the Trinity, and it contributes greatly to the Christian understanding of the deity of Christ. Jesus’s constant reference to himself as the Son of Man plays a key role in understanding Jesus’s earthly mission.
