To greater wisdom

Friends,

Wisdom is a most precious thing. Only with real wisdom can a man truly understand and appreciate the peace of grace and repentance. Only the wisdom given from the Lord will open up the scriptures to reveal the true character of Christ.

Proverbs 9:9
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. [NKJV]

A man might have great worldly wisdom, but that will not give him the ability to discern Jesus' voice. When someone lacks real wisdom, then the teachings of Christ will have no lasting impact, except to make them all the more accountable for their disobedience.

However, when they possess true, godly wisdom, then when Christ reveals Himself, it leads to even greater understanding. The teachings of our Lord then have lasting, edifying impact. The scriptures yield insight upon insight into the heart of Almighty God.

Be encouraged, Jose
