The Scoffer

Proverbs 21

Passage

Most of the time when we think of a scoffer, it is someone else. the one who makes a face, rolls their eyes, or even mocks someone out of disrespect. In Proverbs we can get a Biblical definition that provides some clarity. Proverbs 21:24 calls out the scoffer as someone who is arrogant, haughty and prideful. If we think about it, how many times are we this type of person?

Scoffing can bring about arguments, drive people apart, and more importantly, does not represent how God wants us to behave. We need to remember that Jesus humbled Himself to come to earth as a servant, died for us out of love. We need to lift others up above ourselves not think more highly of ourselves, and show the love of Christ to everyone we encounter.
