A Biography of James (1 of 38)
John Barnett
This morning we are starting a new study. Open with me to the first book written in our New Testaments, the book of James. To best help us start this study I did a personal interview with James this week. Please listen as he talks to us this morning.
An Autobiography by James, brother of Jesus
Good morning my brethren in Christ Jesus, our exalted Lord and King. My name is James, I am a servant of God and of my big brother while He was on earth - Jesus Christ . I was not always such a follower of Christ. Let me tell you my story . . .
I grew up in a devout Jewish home with a saintly mom, a sickly dad (who died when I was young), three brothers, two sisters and a PERFECT HALF BROTHER. What a difficult thing it is to live with the Son of God. I never got along well with my oldest brother. He was always right, He was never wrong, never bad, He was never mischievous or impatient. He never argued, stewed or fought. He was kind, humble, generous and hard working. He seemed to never sleep. Whether or not He worked late in dad's carpentry shop. He always was up before the family. In fact He would come in just before breakfast each morning from outside. We could tell He had been out there quite a while. Mother always would just look at Him with such wistful and wonder filled eyes.
When He spoke which was seldom compared to us whose words filled the small house in Nazareth. When we sat at table so well made by Jesus my big brother, His words seemed to sweep all of us along. He always was so amazing, saying things that defy explanation. He was so profound and yet easily understood. All us boys would leave the table saying "Yeah, that just what I would have said." Although we could not resist His wisdom, we hated His words. The older we got they pierced our souls and irritated us to the bone!
I remember the last day He was home. It was the day the small door leading to the carpenter's shop closed for the last time. Gon ...
