James. Not the brother of John, not the brother of Jesus...the other one. What do we know of him? Practically nothing. More is known of his family, his friends, and even Judas the traitor.
James teaches us the quiet character qualities of those disciples who serve Jesus in obscurity. Though not highlighted in any story, he was just as much called to be with Jesus as any other apostle; and he will rule and reign on a throne no different than Peter the Leader's. We can learn much from James' quiet strength.
