Christianity is not a sprint, it’s a marathon – with joys, trials, and temptations along the way. It’s a race we run together as a church which means we care for each other along the way. There will be times in the race we’re weary, tired, discouraged – tempted to throw in the towel. So how can we persevere? How can we remain steadfast and patient so as to make it across the finish line? James ends the letter reminding us how.
