got wisdom?
The very wisdom which calls out to people, which pleads with them to seek her out, this very wisdom is embodied in the living God, revealed in Jesus Christ, brought to life in the saints by the Holy Spirit. Our Lord is wisdom incarnate.
It's very easy to desire wisdom and to decide, based on our culture, that we will gain wisdom by sitting on a mountaintop meditating quietly, or by emulating ancient philosophers - questioning everything like Socrates or outlining everything into syllogisms like Aristotle. But this is not how the Bible defines gaining wisdom. We gain wisdom by heeding the call of God. And that call of God is to believe Jesus has come to redeem the world. This is true wisdom. And it is readily available to all, no matter the walk of life, no matter the proximity of mountaintops, no matter the intellectual level. It's a matter of belief in the living Christ.
