Where can wisdom be found?
The Word of God to us bound in our Bibles tells us that the wisdom of God once walked where we walk, lived where we live, and that true wisdom can be found exemplified and personified in Jesus.
In James 3.13-18 we learn that wisdom is how we show what we believe through our conduct; what we say and what we do. James writes,
Who is wise and understanding among you?
By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.
Jesus showed, and Jesus told.
The question about where wisdom can be found can be answered in the person and work of Jesus, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2.1-3), in Jesus who is the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1.20-25).
Let us then work hard to show what we believe wisely by what we say and do, but above that let us pursue relationship with Jesus, the wisdom of God.
Look at James 3.13 again and let’s put His name in there…
JESUS is wise and understanding…By his good conduct HE HAS SHOWN his works in the meekness of wisdom.
Let us then work hard to show what we believe wisely by what we say and do, as He did, but above that let us pursue relationship with Jesus, the wisdom of God.
