Who is Wise? - 2

Proverbs 10:1
The proverbs of Solomon:
  A wise son makes a glad father,
 But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

Proverbs 15:20
A wise son makes a father glad,
 But a foolish man despises his mother.

Proverbs 21:20
There is desirable treasure,
 And oil in the dwelling of the wise,
 But a foolish man squanders it.

Proverbs 24:5-6
A wise man is strong,
 Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;
    For by wise counsel you will wage your own war,
 And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.

Hebrews 2:14

Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death — that is, the devil.

Did you know that Jesus is not only our Savior, but he is also our brother! "He had to be made like his brothers" the Holy Spirit says in a few verses. We were God's lost children so Jesus came and shared our mortality, our human skin with all its limitations, so that he could defeat our worst enemy, the evil death-maker Satan.

Death no longer has its hooks in us or its hold on us, because our big brother has defeated it and has gone to prepare our place at the Father's side!
