1 Corinthians 4:1-7 teaches us the pathway to freedom from the "comparison trap:" look LESS to OTHERS, look LESS to SELF, and look MORE to JESUS.
Comparison to OTHERS
- Small in SUBSTANCE (doesn't fill)
- Small in DURATION (doesn't last)
- Small in EFFECT (doesn't satisfy)
Comparison to SELF
- Small in SUBSTANCE (doesn't fill)
- Small in DURATION (doesn't last)
- Small in EFFECT (doesn't satisfy)
But when we look to Jesus, we receive a verdict which is:
Comparison to OTHERS
- LARGE in SUBSTANCE
- LARGE in DURATION
- LARGE in EFFECT
