Rooted in Biblical Wisdom!
Wisdom is a skill in living that begins with fearing God, then progresses to guarding your mind, choosing your companions, controlling your body, monitoring your words, pursuing your work, managing your money, and loving your neighbor. Very simple. But that’s it. And when you’ve done that, you’ve learned wisdom. It’s vital to be taught wisdom. For example, as a father, if I fail to teach my son to fear God, the devil will teach him to hate God. If I fail to teach my son to guard his mind, the devil will teach him to have an open mind. If I fail to teach my son to obey his parents, the devil will teach him to rebel and break his parents’ hearts. If I fail to teach my son to select his companions carefully, the devil will choose them for him. If I fail to teach my son to control his body, the devil will gladly teach him to give it completely over to his lusts. If I fail to teach my children to enjoy speech that is honorable to God, the devil will fill their mouths with filth. If I fail to teach my children to pursue their work, the devil will make them lazy. If I fail to teach them to manage their money, the devil will teach them to waste it on riotous living. If I fail to teach them to love their neighbor, the devil will gladly teach them to love only themselves. And the only reason I can pass any of this wisdom on to my children is because God has graciously made it all available in the Bible.

Proverbs 4:5 - Acquire Wisdom!
Our Sympathetic High Priest
When Jesus died on the cross, He not only became our substitute, our salvation captain, our sanctifier, and our Satan conqueror, but He also became our sympathetic high priest. That's what it says in Hebrews 2:16, "For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels, but He took on the seed of Abraham." He didn't become an angel to die for angels; no. There's no salvation for angels. He became a Jew, Abraham's seed, a human being, in order that He might identify with other men and die for men. He didn't come to redeem angels; He came to redeem men. Verse 17: "Wherefore"—now mark this next phrase—"in all things it behoved Him to be made like His brethren"—He was like we are in every way. Why? —"that He might be a merciful"—that is, understanding us—"and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. And for in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He's able to help them that are tempted." In other words, when you go to Jesus Christ to share your heart, He can say, "I know; I've been there." Therefore, He is our sympathetic high priest. You see, a high priest ministers between men and God. And you know what the perfect high priest would be? Somebody who experientially knew the mind of God and experientially knew the mind of man. And isn't that exactly what Jesus Christ was? He was God in fact and man in fact, the perfect intermediary. Listen, in all things, He was like we are. He was hungry, thirsty, overcome with fatigue. He slept. He was taught. He grew. He loved. He was astonished. He marveled. He was glad, sad, angry, full of indignance and sarcasm. He was grieved, troubled and was overcome by the anticipation of future events. He exercised faith, read the Scripture, prayed all night and sighed when He saw a man who couldn't speak. Tears fell from His eyes when His heart ached inside. In fact, He was like His brothers in all things except for sin and sickness. And so He was a perfect high priest. Totally by experience, He understood God. Totally by experience, He understood man. He was the perfect one to bring the two together, a perfect sympathizer. Hebrews 4:15 says, "For we have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities" – no. He can, can't He? "He was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." He's sympathetic. We can touch Him with our feelings, and He'll know and understand. Verse 16, "Let us therefore"—because He's sympathetic—"come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." We can go boldly and say, "Christ, I want to share this with You, and I know You understand, because You've been there." He is the perfect high priest. Oh, what a Savior. Mighty God, adored of angels, yet the all-tender man. One far above, yet our brother in holiness. One with divine attitudes, yet feeling our needs and our emotions and our passions. He is our substitute, our salvation captain, our sanctifier, our Satan conqueror, and our sympathetic high priest. Take another look at the manger, would you? Let's close with this traditional Christian poem: "Who art Thou, precious little babe, nestled in the hay? God I am, come to earth this day. Why didst Thou come, sweet little babe, nestled in the hay? To die I came, the price of sin to pay. Whose sin, tender little babe, nestled in the hay? Yours it was, that brought Me down today."
