Words from the Wise: Jesus

The queen of the South… came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

Cy Young won more baseball games than anyone in major league history, a record unlikely to be broken -- 511 wins over twenty-two years. But who knows? Records are made to be broken. Many people thought Solomon's place as "the wisest man in the world" could never be bested. Then Jesus came.

In childhood, Jesus "increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." As a preacher, His messages invoked the response, "Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this?" Isaiah said of Him, "The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding"; and Paul said, "In (Christ) are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."

Our Lord is able to guide us. His words are dependable; His direction unfailing; His advice irrefutable; His counsel trustworthy. As Jesus said, wise people build their lives on the rock of obedience to His commands (Matthew 7:24).

His wisdom will never be equaled, and His Word cannot be broken.

Jesus is still teaching us through the Bible and through His Holy Spirit in our hearts. Jesus was, and is, and always will be the wisest rabbi, the wisest teacher.
