Lesson 2:
James 1:5-8 |
|
Worldly
Expectations Upside-down! |
|
Humble and High Circumstances |
"The brother in humble
circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. But
the one who is rich should take pride in his low position,
because he will pass away like a wild flower.
For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its
blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich
man will fade away even while he goes about his business."
(1:9-10) |
|
Wisdom of the World? |
"Do not deceive
yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of
this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. For
the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is
written: 'He catches the wise in their craftiness'; and again, 'The
Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.'"
(I Corinthians 3:18-20) |
