Thoughts on Wisdom

How does the world’s wisdom compare with God’s wisdom?

Worldly wisdom is sensual and demonic, causing envy, self-seeking, confusion, and evil works.

God’s wisdom is pure, peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, and without partiality and hypocrisy (James 3:13-18)

How do men perceive God’s wisdom?

It is a stumbling block to the Jews (who seek a sign), and foolishness to the Greeks (who seek after wisdom).

The foolishness of God is greater than man’s wisdom, and His weakness is stronger than man’s strength (1 Corinthians 1:18-25)

Who is our wisdom?

Jesus Christ became wisdom from God (1 Corinthians 1:26-31)

Did some question Jesus’ wisdom?

Often as He taught in the synagogues, many marveled at His wisdom (Matthew 13:54ff)

Did Jesus have a limit in wisdom?

He increased in wisdom (Luke 2:52)

What can we learn in Christ?

The hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:1-3)

Can we know the mystery of Christ?

It has been revealed to us through Christ Jesus (Ephesians 3:8-11)

How do we get wisdom?

God is willing to give us wisdom, but we must ask for it in faith without doubting (James 1:5,6)
