Bible Question: Points of view on Prov. 8;23 being Jesus. I've read and re-read this and cross-referenced several different ways and I believe this is definately a reference that Wisdom is Jesus. Or I was thinking maybe it means its the wisom of the understanding of the great mystery (Col. 1;27)of Christ living in us. Also why does this whole chapter refer to Wisdom in the feminine form? |
Bible Answer: Hi suzybeezy, If Jesus is Wisdom, then who is Prudence in verse 12? :) Wisdom is in the lower case. We often think of the spirit of wisdom and that would bring in the feminine form. I believe that Proverbs 8:22 does speak of Jesus and it speaks of the spirit of wisdom that He possessed from everlasting, from the beginning. Even from the beginning of His works.
