James asked to sit by the right hand of Jesus. In response, Jesus asked him if he would drink the cup that Jesus was going to take. James responded that he would and guess what ! Of the eleven apostles , he was the first to be killed.
He drunk the cup!
The Pharisees tried to prevent it—sealing Jesus’ tomb, placing guards, and rolling a stone over it. Instead of stopping anything, they ended up strengthening the proof of the resurrection. Had they left the tomb open, doubts would’ve been easier.
Ironic!
Interesting how Paul says it’s better for one not to marry so that they can focus on the lord but will not permit a pastor to have no wife.
An over seer must be a husband…… of one wife!
Today, the Holy Spirit stopped me midway conversation about 4-5 times, telling me not to joke that way.
I dint hear a voice, but I felt a wisdom restraining me and instructing me to stop.
It wasn’t nice, I just wanted a good laugh but He wasn’t having it.
