       What is this crown of life that James is talking about? In one sense, when we come to the end of our lives, having made it there, no matter who we are in the Christian realm we are going to receive the promise of living our lives (after we transcend this earth) with the Lord Jesus forever, no matter where he is at. That’s all good and dandy. That’s the future, and it will be glorious; it will be realistic and awesome at the same time. However, there is more to it I think when James discusses the crown of life here. I’m not much into Greek, but to understand this phrase here better it literally means that we “will receive the crown [that is] life.” In a sense, reading it that way it seems to be something that we receive while we are still currently living this life on the earth. It all goes back to what I’ve been saying. Trials then produce good for us. See that? It’s not just me saying that to make you feel good. It’s the actual end result of the trials that James is talking about here.
