The Jews always understood wisdom as the part of God that made things work—that held it all together. Why do the mountains not fall into the sea? Because through God’s wisdom and logic he made them. Like the logicboard of a laptop or the fabric that holds your pack, tent and boots together so God’s wisdom is to the world. The first Christians understood Jesus in a similar way. Jesus makes God’s love tangible and so though him we see how it all works—how he holds the world together. When we listen to Jesus, the divine word from God, we hear a word about God and how he wants us to live. How do our words our lives tell a story of God’s love, goodness, and forgiveness?
