Yesterday we were reminded that Jesus is the wisdom of the Father. What actually comes from lips is the wisdom of God. But, let's be honest, let's be "transparent", as we hear so often of late. How seriously does each Catholic strive to learn about Jesus, to learn more of the Father's will for us through his Son? Do we make any true effort to build up a reserve of Jesus wisdom? No doubt in each person's life there are moments when the wisdom of God is so needed.
Our lives today are, in most instances, so much of our way of life seems to be distracted from building up a good relationship with God our Father. Of course, there must be scripture phrases we recall from our youth. Somewhere along the line for many American Catholics, "Life in Christ," became a waster of time.
If we truly believed that Jesus is the wisdom of the Father, it would seem that everyone would be reading and re-reading the gospels and other New Testament writing. And when his words are read to us or when we ourselves read them, does anyone among us stop to consider the mammoth gift that God is giving us? What is it like to be rejecting the wisdom of God? Is it not arrogance to be so sure that one does not need his graces, his words?
