In James 2:1 the Biblical prohibition is delivered that we must not attempt to combine a daily Christian walk of faith with the practice of showing respect to persons. Involved in this presentation is the truth that our daily walk of faith is centered upon “our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.” By referring to the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord Jesus Christ, James was publicly confessing his inclusion among those who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. In addition, by declaring that the Lord Jesus Christ is “the Lord of glory,” James was also confessing his belief in the true identity and full deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as David referred to Jehovah of hosts as “the King of glory” in Psalm 24:7-10, and just as David referred to Jehovah God as “the God of glory” in Psalm 29:3, and just as the apostle Paul referred to God the Father as “the Father of glory” in Ephesians 1:17, and just as Stephen referred to the One who met who Moses through the burning bush as “the God of glory” in Acts 7:2, even so James here refers to the Lord Jesus Christ as “the Lord of glory.” Even so, there are six facets of truth in this title, “the Lord of glory,” for us to consider.
1. Our Lord Jesus Christ is by divine nature majestically glorious. 2. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the revelation of God the Father’s glory. 3. Our Lord Jesus Christ is exalted by the Father unto heavenly glory. 4. Our Lord Jesus Christ is found unto us believers to be most glorious. 5. Our Lord Jesus Christ is coming again with power and great glory. 6. Our Lord Jesus Christ is a fountain unto us believers of His glory.
