The Power and Promise of Wisdom (Part 9)

Wisdom Calls: Without Wisdom Our Nation Runs on FumesProverbs 8 It’s well known that the very best maple syrup comes straight from the tap of a maple tree. Québec, Canada produces more than 70% of the world’s maple syrup, drawing millions of visitors each year who seek to taste its sweetness right from the source. While maple syrup is easy to find in almost any supermarket, avid maple lovers can quickly detect the difference between true, all-natural syrup and the inauthentic, corn syrup-based imitations. Maple syrup connoisseurs don’t settle for substitutes – they seek out the source itself. In the same way, there are countless imitations of wisdom in the world, some of which can sound quite sweet. But Proverbs reminds us that wisdom doesn’t come from human imitation or man-made substitutes. True wisdom comes from the original source: God himself. This Sunday we’ll taste the sweetness of wisdom, remember the One from whom it comes, and look to Jesus – the perfect embodiment of wisdom in human form.
