Summary
As we grow in wisdom together, we're also growing in the wisdom that brings us right back to that base truth that Christ is crucified, because it's that promise, that wisdom of God that we continually cling to, continually can count on, and is unshakable. We can go through His word, and because we have His word in the light of Christ and Christ crucified, every single word jumps off the page, and we are richer, and we are closer to God, and what we don't understand, we can say, OK Lord, I don't get this now. Every single year, I walk away saying that was just right because it's Christ, Christ crucified the wise word for the infantile of faith and the wise word for those who have been lifelong learners and believers. If we go to collusion, so right now we're in the book of John, we're going to go over to the right, pass the book of Acts, pass the Romans and 1st and 2nd Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, and then we're going to find ourselves at Philippians, go one more to collusions, chapter 1, verses 16 through 17, where we read in him, that is Jesus, in him, all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers, all things have been created through him and for him. Lord, we ask that You would use this time of study to grow us in the faith that You have blessed us with, that You would use this time of study to draw us closer to You so that we would be ready and willing and eager to run out into the world, sharing and proclaiming the good news of Christ crucified. And we know that Christ is wisdom Christ is wisdom from above and do those do those modifiers work is Christ pure yes is he peaceable gentle open to reason which means easily obeying and compliant think of how he prayed in the garden before going to the cross he prayed sweating blood if if it is your will take this cup let it pass and if it's your will bring it on he was complying he was obedient to the father full of mercy of course is Christ full of good fruits is he impartial is he sincere.
