! INTRODUCTION
* *
#. *James*
#.
Not James - Jesus’ half brother who wrote the book of James
#.
Not James – the son of Alphaeus
#.
Talking about James, the brother of John, son of Zebedee
#.
*When James and John are mention, James is always listed FIRST*
#.
Guess that James is OLDER
#.
*Remember that day when Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee*
#.
Met Peter and Andrew
i.
Extending that CALL
1. “Come follow me…”
#.
Jesus walks a little further
i.
There He meets James and John
ii.
Extending the same call to them
*Mark 1:19-20 *And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the /son/ of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
* *
#. *James, John and their dad Zebedee were in the fishing business too*
#.
Just like Peter and Andrew
#.
*James was also part of that INNER circle*
#.
We read when Jesus arrives at the house of JARIUS
i.
Daughter had died
ii.
Only this inner circle of Peter, James and John, were allowed to go into the house along with the girl’s parents
*Luke 8:51 *And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
iii.
As a member of that INNER circle, James watches as Jesus takes the dead girls hand
*Luke 8:54 *And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
iv.
The dead girl stand UP
v.
Don’t know about the 3 disciples, but I would have certainly JUMPED
#. James as also there at the TRANSFIGURATION
i.
Remember Peter, James and John wanted to build 3 shrines
1.
One for Moses, One for Elijah and oh, yes, one for Jesus
#. James was there the night before Jesus’ crucifixion i.
Accompanying Jesus into the Garden of Gethsemane
ii.
Apparently the rest of the disciples remained at the gate
iii.
We know these guys were not very attentive
iv.
Sleep over took them
!
! FINAL JOURNEY
Luke 9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
#.
*The TRANSFIGURATION had just taken place*
#.
Time for our Lord’s final journey #.
Jesus sets out for Jerusalem
#.
Traveling through Samaria with His disciples
#.
He sends some men forward to find a place for the night
#.
They ALL are ready to shut it down for the night
#.
Been a long, hot, hard day
#.
Certainly they were all tired
#.
*Bad news*
#.
The guys sent ahead come back to the group and say they are NOT welcomed in the Samaritan village ahead
#.
WHY?
They are Jews on the way to Jerusalem
Luke 9:53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
#.
*Remember that was no love between the Jews and the Samaritans*
#.
NOW Jesus and the group keep on a walking
#.
Walking till they find a more INVITING place to bed down
#.
Keep in mind that we are now some two years into Jesus’ public ministry
#. James and John being one of the first disciples have been with Him almost two years now
#.
Hearing Jesus preach on love, on compassion, on helping each other
#.
What do these guys ask?
* *
*Luke 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw /this/, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? *
#.
We can see WHY Jesus gave them their surname:
*Mark 3:17 * And James the /son/ of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
#.
*Jesus did not take too kindly to their suggestion*
*Luke 9:55-56 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, **Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save /them/.
And they went to another village.
*
* *
#.
Jesus rebukes them
#.
Says they will move on to ANOTHER village
#. James had forgotten what Jesus taught about LOVE and FORGIVENESS
#.
But their LAPSE of memory will not last long
#.
James will one day remember Jesus’ PROMISE
*John 14:26 *But the Comforter, /which is/ the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
f.
We see in the disciples so much of ourselves
i.
We see their GOOD attributes
ii.
And we see their BAD attributes
#.
*James let his ANGER get the best of him*
#.
That is NOT an attribute our Lord wanted James nor us to have
*Col.
3:8 *But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
#.
ANGER rears it’s ugly head in the WORDS we use
i.
Don’t know about you but many a time I wish I could have reeled in words spoken in anger
ii.
Words so often express our ANGER
iii.
And we usually say a LOT when we are ANGRY
*Prov 10:19 *In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips /is/ wise.
