History
James lived in Persia about 1700 years ago, when Yezdigerd I was king. James
was a Christian, but he was quiet about it. When King Yezdigerd started
persecuting Christians, James stopped worshiping Jesus because he was scared.
After King Yezdigerd died and King Bahram took his place, James' family pointed out how he had given up Christ to save himself. He realized that
he had done the wrong thing. He told King Bahram he was a Christian, even
though it meant he was sentenced to death.
Activity
Most of us are luck enough to live
as Christians without anybody threatening us. But there are still times we want
to hide our faith, maybe so we won’t be teased, maybe so we won’t be
embarrassed. Today, pray that God will help you always be courageous about your
faith in Jesus.
