In James 3:13-16, we study the wisdom of the world—characterized by being jealous, bitter, and selfish. The world says to make this life all about you and live like this life is all there is, but that is foolish in God’s eyes. We are reminded by Scripture that God brings low those with high egos and this life is fleeting and temporary. Rather than striving for self-praise and glory in this life, we should live humbly. Christ set the example of humility through his birth, life, and death—we would be wise to learn from his example.
