Introduction
Wisdom: review.
There is an order to the world.
Order to recipes.
Follow the directions.
If we want to be wise, we need to look to the character of God.
What does verse 10 say?
Fear of the Lord, and Knowledge of the Holy One are the basis for making wise decisions.
Fear of the Lord = not terror.
It’s somewhere between literal fear and respect.
It’s like my lawn mower.
Fear of the Lord = Worshipful devotion to God.
AKA the better you follow God, the more wise you will be.
The better you know him, the better decisions you make.
Why? b/c you’ll better understand how to follow him.
The OT describes God as slow to anger, compassionate, but not allowing sin to go unpunished.
Over and over again, God is seen to advocate for the poor and the down and out.
& God judges those who sin in this way.
Ask yourself: Is this gracious, compassionate, just?
Is it holy?
What does the passage say the results of wisdom (or not having wisdom) are?
Why do you think that’s the case?
What is God like?
What are some characteristics of God?
How can you grow in your knowledge of God?
Jesus is the Wisdom of God
I want to look at another verse:
1 Cor 1:26-
At the end there, it makes this amazing statement: God made Jesus to BE WISDOM.
wise decisions = Jesus.
This makes sense:
Here’s what John says: Jesus shows us what God is like.
(My dad)
this is important because it’s different from the world.
Wisdom of God =/ Wisdom of the world.
Why? b/c of the cross.
The perfect cross of mercy and justice.
We should make decisions in light of the cross.
How does Jesus help us see what God is like?
What are some ways in which God’s wisdom is different from the wisdom of the world?
How can the cross help you make decisions?
