No doubt there was some natural human resentment there. Because James did not realize who Jesus was during His lifetime makes it all the more powerful when he recognized Him as the Messiah after the resurrection.<br />Many blessings to you,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-66952039459579730532013-11-24T18:09:09.027-08:002013-11-24T18:09:09.027-08:00Thanks as always, Brenda, for your lovely comment!...Thanks as always, Brenda, for your lovely comment!

In our church, we are going through the letter of James, the younger brother of Jesus.<br />As I have mentioned in my recent blogs, it is extremely unlikely that the young Jesus had ever set foot in England, yet one of our famous songs, written by William Blake, is still sung in our land to this day - particularly by the Women's Institutions.<br />In our study of James, we have discussed how he and Jude, along with some sisters, grew up under the same roof as their elder brother. We have wondered what it was like for them to have a brother who never did or said anything wrong, and unlike them, was never needed to be smacked by their father Joseph, as themselves most likely were.<br />We believe that Jesus' younger siblings grew up to respect their older brother, but did not realise that he was the Messiah come to atone for their sins until after his resurrection.<br />A well written post.<br />God bless.Frank E.

'But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:' Praise His lovely name.<br />God bless you for sharing.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-33596019935397434562013-11-24T09:41:00.158-08:002013-11-24T09:41:00.158-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-90416746071965495102013-11-23T10:36:07.541-08:002013-11-23T10:36:07.541-08:00Amen, Ceil!

I believe that even though Jesus knew how awful the physical suffering, abandonment, and humiliation would be, that what He dreaded even more was the separation from His Father. And what amazes me most is that as He was facing this worst trial ever known, He was praying for you and me! <br />Praise God for the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers!

How can anyone deny that he was fully human, while fully divine?<br />And so true that even though we don't know much about Jesus' young life, it must have been filled with grace, as he became a powerful man in his own Spirit. How blessed we are that we can have a part of that Spirit as his followers!<br />Happy Weekend, my friend :)<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.com
