Lk 6:39-45 Jesus teaching us to be wise

Send us Fan MailJesus is calling his followers to be wise.  He gives a few tools on how to be wise.  The list is not complete.  What is wisdom?  Wisdom is correlated with intelligence but its not absolute.  I suspect you may know someone who is highly educated but not wise, often making the same mistake over and over again.  On the other hand, you may know someone else who may not have all the academic or educational credentials but nevertheless are considered to be   wise.  Wisdom is often associated with advanced age.  It is true, people who have embraced life are often wise.   Individuals of any age who have gone through a crisis whether it is health, or relationship or career often reflect a wisdom beyond their years.   So, what then is wisdom?  I can share a few insights.  Wise people have learned from their life experiences, they perceive life events differently.  They trust themselves and have little to prove.  They are often not in a hurry to bring issues to closure.Complete our 1 Minute Survey
