The vault of the puzzle of God’s wisdom I have found by the Help of the Holy Spirit in these three scriptural references, Matthew 11: 27, John 14: 9 and Colossians 1: 15.
Matthew 11: 27 (ESV)
All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
John 14: 9 (ESV)
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?
And finally,
Colossians 1: 15 (ESV)
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
The wisdom of God entails the entire details, from the tail to the head, without any detachment, but perfectly fitting in the bits in values to produce the ground and figure where the true image comes alive. This does not end at the aspect of God that hides the revelation, which we are supposed to know and that detail is whom Jesus truly is.
I
I AM
Who is Jesus?
Who is Jesus to you?
Is Jesus the Son of the Living God or God?
God had to still introducing Himself to operate in the heart of man to change man’s ideology of Him because of the void found in the heart of man. Void is what defines self, but the triangle of reality begins with a unit statement, I, then the introductory statement, because of formlessness of the earth and that statement is I AM. The void led man into a thought apart from the thought of God questioning God’s authority and because of this God had to repent for man’s sake (Genesis 6: 6). The revelation of a thought questioning the authority of God in Psalm 8: 4 is a clear pointer that something opposed the position of man with God. This thought was made crystal clear in Hebrews 2: 6, which reads, “But one in a certain place testified, saying, “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You take care of him?”, so man was dragged into judging God.
Genesis 3: 12
Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
So because of this, God had to come down to be with man as Immanuel, which translate to mean “God with us”, since man said, it was what God gave that made him to disobeyed him. Man, dragged God into human emotion and the ache of the LORD (passion of the cross) birthed in God to come and save man from His fall, so do not get things twisted to misinterpret in an attempt to interpret the revelation of the person of Christ as the Son of the living God. I hope this is clear to you.
If the only options are, Son of the Living God or God, who is Jesus?
The wisdom of God entails the mind of Christ and the mind of Christ is simply the drive of God’s will with men who have given their all for the course of truth and have yielded their hearts to doing nothing but the perfect will of God.
You can never understand the wisdom of God if your thinking is not all correct, by this you can never reach perfect truth if your thinking is not all right. This means that your thinking must be ALL-RIGHT, for you to be all right in faith.
The wisdom of God reveals that we can do nothing on our own, but this is only true when if we are not helped of God. Moreover, for this singular reason, we must deliberately cultivate the right attitude of gratitude, because of God’s faithfulness.
Many Christians are just like Lot whose selfish interest led him into a corrupt land that was ordained for destruction, and this is what happens when we choose a way that seem right (Proverbs 16: 25).
Many Christians still think faith in God is a thing of work, and end up wearing the gown of eye service, always trying to please and get praises from men, even when their lifestyle does not align with the wholesome pattern of God’s Word. The truth is and would will ever be, as it has always been that we have no faith in God, because the faith we have is a gift of God by grace, not that we deserve it. The reason why we still consider more of carnal options is that we still have not gotten to a level of faith with God. This is the level where we can put our absolute trust in the sure Word of God and that is why, little conspiracy from the pit of hell can drag us into panic, to make situations that should be stopped just by the spoken word of faith, now become the god we talk more about. Why do we over emphasize common plague more than God?
You can see that the wisdom of God will sound and seem like foolishness to men, because our knowledge is limited to the things we were being taught and most of the things we are being taught are full of errors, distortions and twists. It will take exceptional wisdom to build a skyscraper on the ocean, because for one to lay the foundation that will hold the building, such must have to go very deep down to touch a solid ground in the liquid, but how would the solid hold the pillars if the pillars will definitely go down, even from the deep down? To the wisdom of men, it will be foolishness to build in the air, but today, we have what we now call space stations. If man can go this extent in wisdom to build in space, can you imagine the wisdom of God?
