Missouri is known as the “Show Me” state. James writes to believers and says, “Show me your faith.” He reminds us that “faith by itself without works is dead” (2:17).
Throughout our life we have seen many changes, faced many trials, and enjoyed many blessings, and God has been faithful through every circumstance! Even when we sin, God is faithful! The faithfulness of Christ to live a perfect life and die a sacrificial death allows us to truly experience the message of Christmas.
