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

    I was the architect at his side. I was his constant delight, rejoicing always in his presence.

    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 do people know where to find wisdom? Where can they find 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 called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

    Paul: Christ crucified is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
  4. 4

    Treasures of wisdom hidden in Christ

    Colossians 2:3

    In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

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