Jesus: Wisdom From God

What does wisdom look like? Where does wisdom come from? Do you have wisdom?

The Apostle Paul instructed the Church in Corinth, saying, “You are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.’” (1 Corinthians 1:30-31, ESV).

Wisdom looks like Jesus, who is wisdom personified. Jesus embodies true wisdom. Wisdom is a person, his name is Jesus.

True wisdom comes from God. We can receive wisdom from God by asking God for wisdom.

This is what James teaches in his letter when he wrote, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” (James 1:5, ESV).

May we ask God for the wisdom we are looking for, and receive God’s wisdom, which he so generously gives, as we receive Jesus.

A Collect for the Conversion of Paul the Apostle: “O God, by the preaching of your apostle Paul you have caused the light of the Gospel to shine throughout the world: Grant, we pray, that having his wonderful conversion in remembrance, we may show ourselves thankful to you by following his holy teaching; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
