DELUSIVE GRANDEUR
People usually take worldly success to be an indication of success in the life to come. But they are mistaken in this, for success in this life has nothing to do with eternal success.
Worldly grandeur is no true grandeur at all. It is just a means by which man is put to the test. Some are happily placed in this world, while others are not. But whatever the conditions of human existence, all men are the same in that they are being tested. A person�s position on earth is not an indication of success or failure: it is just a test.
When one is raised in stature or in some way honoured in this world, one would be mistaken if one were then to look down on others, for all are equal in the face of death. Death puts the whole human race on one level. Then great are those whom God sees fit to make great, and lowly are those who are cast down by Him.
The world is a place of trial. Here man can pretend to be great, but it will not be long before his position is exposed. On that day many who have honour in this world will be debased before God: many who claim to be friends of justice and humanity will be exposed as enemies of the very causes they exposed,; many who are acclaimed amongst the brave will be condemned as cowards; many who claimed to bow to the truth will be exposed as shams.
