Wisdom

WEBKJVBSBESVNKJVNASBNLT

The wisdom by which God made the world — and the Wisdom made flesh.

Proverbs personifies Wisdom as present with God before creation, the master craftsman at his side; Job asks where wisdom can be found and answers that it belongs to God alone; Ecclesiastes tests every earthly path and finds it wanting. The New Testament gathers the thread into a person: Christ, "the wisdom of God," "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." To seek wisdom, in the end, is to seek him.
  1. 1

    Wisdom present at creation

    Proverbs 8:30

    then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,

    Proverbs personifies Wisdom beside God as the master craftsman when the world was made.
  2. 2

    "Where shall wisdom be found?"

    Job 28:12

    “But where shall wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?

    Job's great poem: wisdom is hidden from all living things and known to God alone.
  3. 3

    Christ the wisdom of God

    1 Corinthians 1:24

    but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

  4. 4

    Treasures of wisdom hidden in Christ

    in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.

    Colossians: in Christ "are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
