James 1:9-11 (ESV)
9 Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, 10 and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
The distinctions of this world are irrelevant for those in the body of Christ. They disappear when we enter the unity of those joined in the Holy Spirit.
Those in the body of Christ have put on His righteousness and are being made in His image, which includes His nature and mind. The light of the Son withers the pursuits of man to allow man to pursue the life of God.
