A Plea for Patience 5:7-11 James exhorted the early Christians who were being 'persecuted unmercifully to be patient until "the coming of the Lord." He cited three outstanding examples of those who exercised patience: first, the farmer waiting from plowing time until the harvesting season; second, the pro phets of God who bore their testimony for Him notwith standing the fact that they had to endure persecution; third, Job. James stressed the imporance of being ready for and expecting the return of Christ. We are told to endure these things patiently for Christ, and then be assured that when Christ returns, persecutors will he punished. James says to refrain from being chronic grumblers, even though there are plenty of things to upset us. Of all of those mentioned in the Bible, Job is the out standing human sufferer. The way in which he bore his troubles and sufferings proved his devotion to God. He said : "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him." Job endured his afflictions patiently and produced an invaluable fruit of genuine faith. Patience is sorely needed. We need it when we are ill, or when we are undergoing trials of any sort. We need to be pa tient with others, and especially with those to whom we pre sent the gospel. Not only should we wait patiently for the fruit of our labors, but also for relief from our trials. While we are awaiting the return of Christ, let us see to it that our light keeps on shining brightly in order that others may see our good works and glorify our heavenly Father. A Plea For Prayer - 5: 14-18 Hardships, afflictions, and suffering are inevitable in this life. How shall we react to them when they come to us? When we encounter them, prayer will prove to be ap propriate and profitable to us who know and love the Lord. Unless we pray as we should, it is likely that we shall groan, grumble, and growl. Let us refuse to allow sirLi" 's or af fliction to embitter us. James told his readers that, when their bodies were sub jected to one or more of the diseases common to man, they People In The News should call persons of genuine Christian experience, who have the ability to pray, and ask them to pray for them. ' When God so wills, He can and does heal directly, but He '. also uses means, such as medicines and the skills and ' abilities of physicians and nurses, to bring about the' restoration to health. James emphasized the importance of confessing sin. Con fession of sin is a vital factor in availing prayer. Prayer should be offered to God in all kinds of situations. "The ef fectual fervent prayer that many Christians have never realized. God's children can conquer anything through Iprayer, but they are powerless without it. Prayer reaches the highest level of intercession, the act of pleading for another. Nothing lies beyond the reach of prayer except those things which lie outside the will of God. A Plea For Concern 5:19-20 When one breaks from those who follow Christ, he is not to be abandoned, but he should become an object of loving con1 cern, and be urged to confess his sins, to seek and to obtain divine forgiveness. He should then prove his genuine apt preciation for forgiveness by obedience to Christ. - The Sunday School Lesson is sent in each week by Clear Creek Baptist School in Pineville, Ky. and is written by Dr. H.C.
