The Story of Wisdom

Even the story of wisdom is enlightening. It is announced as humanity’s true task: discern the difference between good and evil. One way leads toward death, the other to life. Nothing could be more important, yet we never seem to get it right. To help us discern God’s ways, the Wisdom Literature does everything possible to open our eyes to these distinctions, including the Psalms. Yet it is not enough. We remain foolish until Jesus brings wisdom and the Spirit brings Jesus to our hearts. When this happens, we can truly grow in wisdom, this most important human calling.
