Is there anyone sick among you? Let him call the older men of the congregation to him and let them pray. -Jas. 5:14, NW.
James is here dealing with spiritual and not physical sickness. The course of treatment he now recommends argues it is spiritual sickness. The older men of the congregation, who are full-grown in the faith and full of wisdom from above and acquainted with God's instructions, are the proper ones for the spiritually sick one to call in. If he were ailing physically, he would call in a doctor, if he could afford it, or would resort to some medicinal remedy. The older men of the congregation are to pray over him, so that he can hear what they pray and can show he agrees, with his Amen! He has fallen into such a spiritual state that he cannot properly pray on his own accord anymore. Not able to ask in faith and with an unwavering mind, he has no confidence in his own prayer. (Jas. 1: 6, 7) Something has brought on this spiritual illness. The older men must find it out. W 5/1
