Went to Murwillumbah Pressy on Sunday, and was greatly blessed by Chris Lindsay's exposition of Proverbs 8 and 9. So good.
I was going to write a beautifully eloquent summation of all the excellent things he had to say. But I'm not sure I have time. And perhaps just listening to the talk yourself would be more edifying anyways.
So I'll just mention a couple of things. Literally.
- The wisdom offered by Lady Wisdom is something that pre-dates the creation of the world. It, in fact, undergirds the creation. If you're looking for transcendent wisdom or ancient and deep truth, Lady Wisdom offers something deeper than the most ancient sage or sect.
- Though so often we choose Lady Folly over Lady Wisdom, the logos, the reason, the logic, the unifying principle, the word of God has come to be Wisdom for us. So that in Him we are truly wise and all else is made to look foolish.
Much more theological gold in there that'll make you want to read the rest of Proverbs. Go get it.
