The apostle James describes a type of wisdom that is earthly, sensual and demonic. This type of “wisdom” is activated whenever someone perceives that another has brought an acceptable sacrifice, fueling competition and envy. Conversely, the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruit, without partiality and without hypocrisy. We see the counterintuitive wisdom of God exhibited at the cross, when Jesus overcame the authority of satan through the power of weakness and surrender.
