From Wisdom to Word Made Flesh
“Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding” – Proverbs 3:13
Long before Jesus was born in Bethlehem, or before His name was whispered in Nazareth, the wisdom of God was already at work in the world. Proverbs describes wisdom like a treasure, like a tree of life, like something that brings peace and delight to all who find it. But wisdom was never meant to stay abstract or distant. It was always pointing forward to something, or rather, Someone.
Jesus is not an afterthought in God's story. He is not a divine reaction to a broken world. He is the fulfillment of a long unfolding plan. The Word that was with God in the beginning. The wisdom through whom all things were made. The life and light of men.
When John wrote that the Word became flesh, he was declaring something radical. The wisdom of heaven wrapped itself in skin and bone. The eternal became touchable. What Proverbs spoke of in poetic beauty, the Gospels revealed in person. Jesus is not just wise, He is Wisdom with a heartbeat.
So what does that mean for you? It means you can stop searching for meaning in places that cannot speak back. You do not have to guess what God is like or how He feels about you. The mystery has been made plain in Christ. He is not just a good teacher or a spiritual guide. He is the living expression of God’s mind and heart.
If you want wisdom for your life, look at Jesus. If you want to know the truth, listen to Him. If you want to walk in the way of understanding, follow where He leads. Wisdom is not hiding. It comes close, it walks among us, and it still speaks today.
