JESUS THE WISDOM OF GOD
Memorise: But we preach Christ
crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 1st
Corinthians 1:23
Read: 1st Corinthians
1:21-24, Bible in one year: Judges 3:7-4:24, Matthew 24:36-25:13
When wise men from the East discovered
the phenomenon that indicated the birth of Jesus, they abandoned everything
they were doing and commenced an immediate search for Him (Matthew 2:2-1).
These were noble men who were feared and highly respected. They were of the
priestly caste, and they were spiritual counsellors to the kings of their time.
Yet, on hearing of the birth of Jesus, they decided to abandon their own wisdom
and search for the superior wisdom of God manifested as Jesus. This is why I
pity those who know the truth but allow foolishness to keep them in darkness.
Romans 1:28 says this about such people.
“And
even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over
to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;”
For this reason, everyone who comes into
his world must make a decision to submit to the superiority of God’s wisdom
which is personified by Jesus. To benefit maximally from this life, you must
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord. He is willing to give you divine wisdom
concerning all issues of life. He is ready to guide you into greatness. Don’t
allow the devil to keep you in the foolishness of self-government. If you do,
you will experience great loss and destruction especially in the world to come.
After a branch is severed from a tree,
its leaves will still remain green, but it is only a matter of time before they
wither and die. Is someone asking you to embrace the wisdom of this world? Is
anyone asking you to forsake the congregation of the righteous? Are you being
lured by religious sects with a promise that you will be free? You are only
about to lose your freedom if you subscribe to such lies. It is only in Jesus
Christ you can experience the true wisdom that brings freedom. If there is any
place to search for wisdom, it is in Christ alone, because all the treasures of
wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him (Colossians 2:3). The wisdom of God is
like light that repels darkness on its arrival. When this wisdom comes into
your life, every reproach automatically gives way. As a child of God, you must
allow wisdom to control all that you do. When it appears things are not moving
in the direction you expect, don’t try to ‘help’ God; there is nothing beyond
His wisdom. Don’t accept the alternatives of the devil; and don’t subscribe to
the suggestion of men. The wisdom of God is the greatest of all wisdom.
Action Point
Are you perplexed by any situation? Look
to Jesus and ask God for wisdom on how to handle it.
