‘Wisdom is better than gold... understanding is to be chosen rather than silver’ (16).
What is wisdom?
In 1 Corinthians 1:30, we learn that Jesus Christ is Wisdom.
To find Jesus Christ is to find Wisdom.
How do we find Jesus Christ?
How do we find Wisdom?
Jesus tells us - ‘Seek and you will find’ (Matthew 7:7).
For so many of us, the most important ...thing is getting on in the world.
Jesus says, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth... lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven’ (Matthew 6:19-20).
Which world is more important to you - this world or the world to come?
Jesus puts this question to every one of us.
This is the question we must answer.
May God help us to give this answer - ‘I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold... I’d rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today’ (Mission Praise, 319).
What a difference there is between a self-centred life and a God-centred life.
Where does the self-centred life lead us? - ‘There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death’ (25).
Is there a better way, a way that leads to true happiness?
Yes!
There is the God-centred way: ‘He who gives heed to the Word will prosper, and happy is he who trusts in the Lord’ (20).
True happiness does not come to those who seek it in the things of this world.
It comes to those who seek the Lord.
‘Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey’ (Mission Praise, 760).
God invites us to choose between two very different ways - our own way and His way: ‘the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord’ (Romans 6:23).
Choose Christ!
