Hebrews, James, and Psalms 122–126

By Editor

Our week's reading closes Hebrews, includes James, and Psalms 122 to 126. Extended comment upon these blessed scriptures is not needed. All are plain, clear, and practical, and yet filled with a depth of infinitude. It is well to remark that the James who wrote this epistle was not James the brother of John the son of Zebedee one of the twelve, but probably James "the Lord's brother." These psalms were those which were sung by the Jews as they were going up to the feasts at Jerusalem. Therefore they are called "songs of ascent." Psalm 126 is without question postexilic, that is, it was composed after the captivity to Babylon.
