1 | Definition of worldly sorrow? | Matt 27:5 | NAV | 27788 | ||
2Cor 7:10 "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death." Christ is prophesied as being a man of sorrows in Isiah (fulfilled in Mt 26:37,38). He couldn't have had the first kind of sorrow since He needed no repentance, so I think it's safe to assume it's the second kind. If we are exhorted to be Christ like, should we feel worldly sorrow as Christ did? (if my assumption is true). Your prayerfully submitted and scripturally backed answers much appreciated. Thanks, NAV |

2 | Definition of worldly sorrow? | Matt 27:5 | Reformer Joe | 27789 | ||
NAV: I would not say that Jesus' sorrow was a worldly sorrow. In 2 Corinthians 7, Paul is specifically speaking of the sorrow of the church at Corinth in response to his letter (most likely a rebuke). Paul is comparing the godly grief (God-given) that leads to repentance (God-given) rather than some kind of self-pity that results in no change of attitude toward the sin itself. Jesus never expressed either of these kinds of sorrows, because he was never rightfully accused of wrongdoing. I think Judas' suicide is perhaps the best example of a worldly sorrow leading to death (thanks to Sinclair Ferguson for this example). --Joe! |
