SYSTEMATIC BIBLE STUDY

By Editor

As a mental stimulus in divine things, the proverbs of Solomon, that we will be reading for the next few weeks, are superexcellent. They are made up of divine wisdom, presented in such terse sentences that the student is entertained, and at the same time mentally energized and spiritually built up. In the chapters for this week, personified Wisdom tells us of her wonderful powers. And this personification of wisdom really represents Christ Himself, who, as we have already found in Isa. 9:6, was to be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace. In 1 Cor. 1:30, a similar thought is expressed: "Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption." And in the twenty-fourth verse of the same chapter, we read, "Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God." In Him "are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Col. 2:3. The individual who is connected with Christ, is connected with the fountainhead of all wisdom.
