Mystery of the Personification of Wisdom
Another mystery is the mystery of the wisdom of God recorded in 1st Corinthians 2:7, But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory:. This mystery is revealed to us when we understand that THIS wisdom was the PERSON of the Lord Jesus Christ. In Chapter 11 of the gospel of Luke, it is Christ Jesus who is speaking And he said unto them . . . . I say unto you . . . . But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them . . . . as he spake these things . . . But he said . . . . And the Lord said unto him . . . . Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master . . . . And he said . . . . Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay and persecute: (Luke 11:49) This mystery is wisdom personified in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Also compare Proverbs Chapter 8 where wisdom is seen in the unseen at the beginning of the creation of God of the earth. The following is not the whole Chapter, but selected verses to challenge your curiosity. Proverbs Chapter 8 deals with two different points: wisdom and understanding, that is God’s wisdom and man’s understanding.) Christ Jesus is God. The Lord Jesus Christ is the complete expression of God in wisdom, knowledge and in the power of God.
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? Proverbs 8:1)
Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. (Proverbs 8:4) O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. (Proverbs 8:5)
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. (Proverbs 8:22) I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. (Proverbs 8:23) When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. (Proverbs 8:24)
Christ is the wisdom of God. In Christ Jesus is all God’s knowledge in its fullness. In this fourth mystery of the wisdom of God . . . . Christ Jesus is God. The Lord Jesus Christ is the complete expression of God in wisdom, knowledge and in the power of God. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. (1st Corinthians 1:24) In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Colossians 2:3)
