      James - Don Hatfield

      James

      I met him on the road to Jericho. I was walking there to visit my sister and her husband. Word had come to me that they had also become believers and I wanted to fellowship with them. He was walking slowly and it was obvious that each step taken was a step taken in pain. I caught up with him and as I came alongside of him I asked if I could be of any help. He stared at me. A stare that seemed to reach down into the hidden places of my soul searching every thought that was taking place in my mind. He answered, No, but I can help you for I will tell you of the life that you should live as a believer and then you can tell others. I was startled to say the least. I asked him how he knew that I was a believer and he said that he could sense the Spirit of God in me. He then said walk along with me and as I did so he began to tell me of the Christian life and what it was to mean to me. He was a tall thin man with gray hair and dark brown eyes. He had the hands of a carpenter but when I asked him about his past he answered and said we will only talk of the future for the past is gone and each new day is a day to praise our Savior.

      Here is what he said to me on that dusty road to Jericho. Mark, my young believer, (Mark is my name), count it all joy when you fall into different temptations. When you are encompassed by them just stop and think about where you are. Yes, when you are enticed to sin or to lapse from faith and holiness think about where you are at. I stopped him and said, Why am I supposed to be joyous in the midst of temptation? James answered, Know this that the trying of your faith works patience. The reason that you should stop and consider is so that you may understand that when these things happen it is an opportunity for you to get to know your Father in a more intimate way. Stop, pray and consider and watch Him work in your soul to make you more like Jesus. Let me ask you a question my young believer. What is faith? I stopped there in the middle of the road because I had never thought about the word faith before. I finally answered, I guess that it is believing that Jesus is my Savior. James said, Yes, Mark, that is true but it is much more than that. It is the conviction that God exists and that He is the creator and ruler of all things. It is the belief that He has bestowed eternal salvation through Jesus the Christ. Because of this belief when these temptations occurred we should stand with patience and not be swerved from our steadfast loyalty in Christ our Savior. With that James stopped and looked at me as if he knew my thoughts. I broke the silence and said, "I am ashamed because at the tiniest problem or
