In this sermon, Rev. Chris Vogel continues our summer series in Proverbs. Wisdom calls out to us to hear and receive what is offered. In Proverbs 8 wisdom is personified, offering counsel and insight that far exceed the world’s greatest riches. Wisdom was present at creation, delighting in the work of God. While not a direct allusion to Jesus, this call to follow wisdom and not folly reminds us of Jesus, who grew in wisdom as a child and of whom Jesus himself said: “wisdom is justified by her deeds,” referring to His redemptive work. Likewise, Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:30 and Colossians 2:3 makes this connection as well. For us, the question remains: “will we heed wisdom’s call and look to Christ?”
