And his sisters - they all live here. Pride brings with it a tendency to be offended by others and as a result, we can miss what God is doing through them. These people all new Jesus, they saw him grow up, and they said Who does he think he is to teach us, who does he think he is to think he can work miracles among us, and because of their pride they were offended at him and missed what God wanted to do among them. For example, I don't like his teaching style or preaching style. Pride will cause us to be offended by people and thus miss what God is wanting to do through them.
Pride often produces inner strife and inconsistent joy and peace.
We tend to be critical of others and as a result the message of their testimony or preaching is often missed. For example, I might find fault with a service, and instead of worshiping God and hearing his word, I might be inwardly agitated over the way something was done that I didn't agree with. Pride seeks to exalt our own opinion in our own eyes and results in strife. If pride rules in us, we'll be more concerned with having been wronged or hurt by someone, than we will be free to release the other person who has wronged us. Pride looks to be vindicated.
