BSN: THE VAPOR

Back to BSN Glossary: Jesus Christ

James 4:14 …You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

  • He was, like us, a vapor. – 2 Cor 5:16; 2 Tim 4:8; 1 Jn 4:1-3
  • “a little while” – Jn 12:35-36; Heb 2:7, 9; Jas 4:14; Ps 8:5
  • “while” – Jn 9:5
  • “but you do not always have Me” – Mt 26:11; Mk 14:7; Jn 12:7-8

The New Testament is the historical record through which we preserve the memory of the appearance of that vapor – and valorize that appearance to the degree it deserves.
