Wisdom From Above

Week 4, Day 16 - James: Next Level Look

July 4, 2022 • Pastor Jenni Clayville • James 3:13–16

James’ “wisdom from above” is not about how to “get ahead” in life or how to achieve worldly success. It’s about how we reflect the life of Christ, the one who identified himself as meek and lowly. Anything that generates jealousy or selfish ambition is a denial of the teaching of Jesus. James is saying that every ostensibly “good” thing that earthly wisdom produces is at best morally worthless.
