Bro. James recounts the events of Jesus' crucifixion & resurrection, then focuses on the atonement & healing that Christ earned for us with the stripes he bore. When Jesus thirsted on the cross, it seemed that the soldiers were preparing water in a sponge, but it was vinegar.  Bro. James implores us to not crucify Jesus again in our hearts, but accept his resurrection & triumph over sin. This is the infallible proof that Jesus provides personally to us individually - victory over sin & iniquity in our life.
