Reading:

James 3:7-18

Doth a fountain send forth at the same place
sweet water and bitter?

But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts,
glory not, and lie not against the truth.

This wisdom descendeth not from above…

For where envying and strife is,
there is confusion and every evil work.

And the fruit of righteousness
is sown in peace
of them that make peace.

[The Scriptures say in Psalm 37:11 -- But the meek...shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace]
from Psalm 37:11

Mark 14:1-11 | Christian Light Sunday School Lesson | April 3, 2011

What “very precious” something do I have right now that I anticipate breaking for Jesus’ blessing?

What makes me indignant at another servant in his sacrifice and service for the Master?

If it’s the poor I care so much about, why do I not sacrifice for them? (I can do them good whenever I want to, you know.)

What do I do that makes the opposition glad?
