EVEN SINATRA HAD REGRETS (WELL A FEW) WHEN IT DID IT MY WAY

We've all had them. Shortcomings. Misgivings. Do-overs that we would love to have. Some are life changers.

What about Jesus' older brother James? Do you think he ever had any? I mean, this is one cat who lived with a perfect brother for years. Who saw his olde brother never sin. Who saw His public ministry. Who heard about the miracles He performed. Who knew of His following. Yet he didn't believe.

Not until Jesus appeared to him after His death After he had appeared to His disciples and the 500 (1Cor 15:7). Then, and unfortunately for James, only then did he believe.

But it was in time for him to serve. To advance the church. To write a book of the Holy Bible. To grow in the Word and in the Spirit.

But it keeps haunting me. It keeps me saddened for James. He was there. Yet he didn't believe. Until it was too late to have a loving relationship with the Son of Man while He lived on this earth.

But I'm also strengthened by the fact that James has all of eternity to spend with His brother. Better late than never was never better illustrated.
