<h2>319. PRIDE</h2>
|
|
<h3><a id="fem319-si1" onclick="return mV('1Ki',20,'1-30');">I KINGS 20:1-30</a>.</h3>
|
|
<p>In the attitude and action of the King of Syria we have an illustration of the course and consequence of pride (<a id="fem319-si2" onclick="return mV('1Ki',20,10);">1Ki 20:10</a>).</p>
|
|
<p>1. <b>The demand of pride</b> (<a id="fem319-si3" onclick="return mV('1Ki',20,'1-6');">1Ki 20:1-6</a>). Pride is always overreaching in its claims, selfish in its requests, and cruel in its commands.</p>
|
|
<p>2. <b>The boast of pride</b> (<a id="fem319-si4" onclick="return mV('1Ki',20,10);">1Ki 20:10</a>). Pride never uses a small i, but always the capital I. What a lot of "I" there was in the Pharisee's prayer!</p>
|
|
<p>3. <b>The recklessness of pride</b> (<a id="fem319-si5" onclick="return mV('1Ki',20,12);">1Ki 20:12</a>). Pride ever seeks to "enjoy itself," although danger may be near. Nero played his fiddle while Rome was burning.</p>
|
|
<p>4. <b>The enemy of pride</b> (<a id="fem319-si6" onclick="return mV('1Ki',20,13,14,15);">1Ki 20:13-15</a>). God hates pride; it is an abomination to Him.</p>
|
|
<p>5. <b>The pastime of pride</b> (<a id="fem319-si7" onclick="return mV('1Ki',20,16);">1Ki 20:16</a>). Ben-hadad was drinking when he should have been on the alert. What an illustration of those who are drunken with self-conceit and arrogance. "This one thing I do," is their cry: "I seek to find satisfaction in what the world offers."</p>
|
|
<p>6. <b>The assumption of pride</b> (<a id="fem319-si8" onclick="return mV('1Ki',20,18);">1Ki 20:18</a>). The King of Syria took it for granted that he would take captive those who had come out from Israel; so the sinner thinks his plans will be sure to succeed, till they are exploded; then he discovers his folly.</p>
|
|
<p>7. <b>The overthrow of pride</b> (<a id="fem319-si9" onclick="return mV('1Ki',20,19,20,21);">1Ki 20:19-21</a>). Destruction is the result of pride (<a id="fem319-si10" onclick="return mV('Pro',16,18);">Pro 16:18</a>). Pride is the forerunner of destruction. It was so in the case of Korah, when he in his pride coveted the priesthood (<a id="fem319-si11" onclick="return mV('Num',16,'1-');">Num 16</a>).</p>
|
|
<p>8. <b>The persistence of pride</b> (<a id="fem319-si12" onclick="return mV('1Ki',20,'22-27');">1Ki 20:22-27</a>). Although defeated, Ben-hadad returns to his former course. How like one, who, although he has had to smart for his action, still seeks to follow his former course of conduct.</p>
|
|
<p>9. <b>The punishment of pride</b> (<a id="fem319-si13" onclick="return mV('1Ki',20,'27-30');">1Ki 20:27-30</a>). The sinner can no more escape the punishment that his sin deserves, than the moth can escape being burnt by coming in contact with the lighted candle.</p>
