What is Wisdom
A LIFE OF SATISFACTION IS ONE LIVED
ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF GOD
Scripture—Job £8:11, 18, tS, 88; Proverbs 3:18-18,
By R. H. RAMSEY
WHILE the dictionary defines
wisdom ns "knowledge of what
is true or right coupled with
just judgment as to action,*’
most people tend to look upon
it as something arising out of
human experience or experi-
mentation, or the result of
man's careful, scientific efforts
pondered over a considerable
length of time. Very few people
today think upon wisdom as a
gift of God.
All Oriental nations had some
wisdom literature, but the He-
brew Idea of wisdom was some-
what different. It always had an
ethical content. It was some-
thing that came down from God
out of heaven to bless the man
who lived out his life righteous-
ly, in recognition of the truth of
God and God’s will.
Today’s lesson, the opening
lesson of a three-month series
concerned with the Biblical con-
cept of wisdom, is based upon
verses from the 28th chapter of
the Book of Job and the 3rd
chapter of the Book of Proverbs.
Though the actual Scriptural
content Is but ten verses. It goes
to •oaaidarabla length* to *c-
antcc that he will ultimately be
given it by God.
After interrogating nature re-
garding wisdom. Job knew that
true wisdom is hidden from the
eyes of all living things and that
God alone knows the way and
the place of wisdom.
Since God alone knows where
the treasures of wisdom are
hidden, man is to revere Him, to
fear and trust Him even when
he can neither interpret nor vin-
dicate His ways. God sees plain-
ly the path that leads to wisdom
and through prayer, man is
brought to see the pathway aa
well. Thus, only as man walks
the path of God’s purpose and
communes with Him through
prayer Is he led to wisdom re-
flecting His perfection, and
away from the evil that clouds
his understanding.
Throughout the Old Testa-
ment, Silver, gold, precious
stones, flocks of sheep and goata
were considered a witness to a
man's prosperity. So when Solo-
mon attributed wisdom to be
Infinitely more valuable than
any and all of these, we have
some idea of the tremendous
value placed upon it It ia more

"And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that
is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understandinff." —
Job 88.-88.
quaint us with the nature, con-
tent and purpose of wisdom lit-
erature and points out the value
of wisdom to spiritual growth
and development.
There is a mystery about di-
vine wisdom on which the Scrip-
ture dwells, for it lies in fearing
God and departing from evil.
Job, the prosperous and appar-
ently happy man, had fallen into
a state of great distress. Some
of his friends came to reason
with him. Basing their argu-
ments on the belief that suffer-
ing is always the result of sin,
they urged Job to confess his
iniquity and be healed.
Such a formula—that suffer-
ing is always the result of evil -
is too simple and uncomplicated
to be real, for the innocent fre-
quently suffer through the sins
of the unrighteous. Job did hot
claim to be ainless, but he did
maintain that his suffering was
out of proportion to his sins.
When Jehovah spoke to Job
at last, He showed him that man
knows far too little to attempt
to explain God's rule. This
Caused Job to ask where such
wisdom can be found. The fact
that Job wants wisdom and un-
derstanding' ia almost a guar-
than mere knowledge, more than
collecting information and draw-
ing conclusions therefrom. It la
something that must be sought
for in the daily experiences of
a life lived out under the laws
of God.
Wisdom is described as a
queen with both hands full of
gifts. In her right hand is long
life, the chief of earthly bless-
ings and one which God prob-
ably promised Solomon in con-
nection with the gift of wisdom.
True wisdom is the path to life
because it shuns perils, averts
them and provides advantages;
controls the passions; teaches
prudence and temperance; and
especially because eternal life is
its final Issue.
The Bible admonishes us to
secure this heavenly wisdom at
all costs. There is nothing to be
compared with it and we should
be willing to part with any
cherished possession to obtain
and retain it.
Wisdom is a gift of God. It is
God’s approving hand on all we
think, do or try to do. It brings
us peace with God. peace with
the world, and a complete peace
which fills and quiets the whole
man. .

Easter and Eastertide Just Another Sunday And Season?
For He, whom the tomb could not imprison, gave this promise that was recorded
by the Beloved Disciple, John: "Because I live, you shall live also." We have just
passed through another great time and into another great season of the Christian
Calendar year that should make us awake to the real mission and purpose in our time,
and to know that He lives today and will continue to live because we are sincere in
making this our first witness in life today.
It may come early or late at the Springtime of the year, but the promise never
fails. A season of dormancy, when the fields He desolate and the trees stand barren
and drear, and then the renewal of life — the seedtime of the ancient covenant. It is
but natural that the heart feels "the great simile of springtime and the reassurance of
Easter and Eastertide." For the new pulse of life on every side is revelant of the
fact that "He is not a God of the dead, but of the living.” As the springtime is to the
material life, so is the message of Easter to the spirit of man. It, too, carries a surety
of a promise. He who made Hie promise gave it the final test of faith and by His own
resurrection demonstrated its truth.
A very sensitive Biblical Scholar wrote these words:
“Although the historian cannot offer pro: f that Jesus really uttered any of the
"Seven Last Words" which are ascribed ; - him in the Gospels, nevertheless 'heir
witness is true. And in framing them the ancient church showed its profound
understanding both of the faith of Jesus and of the nature of faith ilself.
"In essence, faith is commitment, it is not only trusting God: it is entrusting
oneself to God: it is living and dying in this faith in which one lives and the
faith in which one dies. The Chrstian man does not have one faith for living
and another for dying: he does not live by faith and die by unfaith. ‘Father,
into thy hands I commit my spirit' would not have been the last word of Jesus
in any gospel, were it not the last word of the Gospel. Neither would these words
have been appropriate to Jesus on the cross, had he not lived his whole life in
this commitment. For him, every day was commitment day.
REV. T. IRVING KING, JB.
PASTOR
"Our steady and sturdy faitth is not Just that God met Jesus on the cross and In
death, but that he meets us on our cross and in our death; and that wherever
we meet God. there at that place and at that moment he is the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ." ...
"To paraphrase lines of W. H. Auden, even in death we need not dreadto find
our father lest we find that the Goodness we have dreaded is not good. The God
who meets us in death — even in the death of the Cross — is good. It is not
the cross that is good, but God who meets us there. When God meets death,
resurrection takes place. But God cannot do his proper work until death has done
its work. Only then is death swallowed up in victory."
The Easter word — God’s word — is: “I am the resurrection and the life; ne who
believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in
me shall never die.” Man’s last and best word is: so shall we ever be with the Lord,
now and then, here and there. .... „ ... c____
The only reason Easter and Eastertide will be just another Sunday or Season
for some is that death has not done its work. In fact, it cannot, for some refuse to die.
Some will hang on to their lives. They will trust only themselves — their way of seeing
But for those who have and will die — give up THEIR seeing and trusting in
order to live out their lives in trust and hope in God. . Easter and Eastertide will not
be just another day or season. It will be a Celebration — of thrvr living passed from
death to life now and the knowledge that death offers no threat to their future.
This Easter and Eastertide is not just mother time in the year, but it came*
its own credentials, as veritable as the return of the springtime. It brings anew each
vear the heartening message that sorrow and loss are not final, and that Life is ever
K of death " Come! lit us CELEBRATE OUR EXISTENCE IN CHRIST!
"Because I live, you shall live also.”
