Session Seven: Day Two- Precious In His Sight

You have condemned- you murdered- the righteous man, he does not resist you.

James 5:6

Yesterday we left Paul being dragged from the temple.  For two years he remained a captive, through Porcius Festus taking the place of the governor named Felix and still he remained in prison.    Shortly thereafter, James was seized, a formal trial called against him and he was charged with "offenses against the law."

It is thought that the Jewish high priest sought to silence the man who has spoken so often about peace but who also had encouraged a belief in Christ.  Perhaps it was retribution for what happened with Paul.  One has to believe that whatever the reason for his being put to death, that at the end he saw Christ in all his glory.

Look up Acts 7:56 and record what another martyr, Stephen, said.

Look, I see Heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.

What would you most like to ask James should you one day meet him in Heaven?
