Christ is the Wisdom of God, and when He came to the earth 2,000 years ago, we got see and behold God's Wisdom in the flesh. But the leading up to His birth, and the result of His life, is what makes His appearance, His Advent, so awe-inspiring and the ultimate display of His Wisdom.
ABOUT THIS SERIES:For these four weeks of Advent, we look at the four main "chapters" of redemptive history, and how God's Wisdom is seen in these and, collectively, how they display His Wisdom in ultimate fashion. We will look at Creation, the Fall, Redemption, and the Restoration, and how His Wisdom weaves in and through all of them to create the most incredulous, miraculous story ever conceived.
The “Word of God” is both with God and is God. It is distinct, yet not an “it,” but a “He.” John tells us that Jesus is the Word of God, but before being revealed as “Jesus,” He was the invisible Word of God. God wanted to be known fully and intimately. Why is He the “Word” of God and not the hand, arm, or mouth? Our words come from us and are intertwined with us, revealing who we are. Other body parts don’t define or reveal our true selves; words do. Christ, as the Word of God, is the lamp to our feet, given so we don’t have to guess who God is. He was given to you to know the one true and living God, and to give you true life.
