John 7. 1-9 What would it take to believe your brother is the Messiah, the Lord, the Savior of the world? James, at this time, is not a believer or follower of Jesus. Seeing the resurrected Jesus, his brother, changed James. You can grow up in church, believe what is true, celebrate faith, and still not be a legitimate, authentic follower of Jesus. Like James, you’ve spent your whole life around Jesus, but you never trusted him. At some point you must follow Jesus. Because people saw him alive, and it changed them.
