Wisdom combines knowledge, experience, and action. God spoke through the prophets to impart His wisdom and teaching, but the Israelites, and especially the teachers of the law, wandered far from God and misunderstood the spirit of all God taught. Holiness was not a set of rules, but about being set apart for a purpose. They were to worship the one, true Jehovah God and teach their children all God had done for his people. Love God and love others. They had lost sight of what it all boiled down to.
When Jesus came to earth, as God in the flesh, He embodied the wisdom of God—not only bringing everyone back to truth, but also living it out as a daily example. Christ reminds us that it is as much about who we are as what we say, do, think, or teach.
As Paul put it...
“...but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ [is] the power of God and the wisdom of God. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption” (1 Cor. 1:24, 30).
