Wisdom from the new testament

25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and
earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent
and have revealed them to infants. 26 “Yes, Father, for this way was
well-pleasing in Your sight.
- Matthew 11:25-26 NASB

18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
22 For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom;
23but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to
Gentiles foolishness, 24 but to those who are the called, both Jews
and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
- 1 Corinthians 1:18, 22-24 NASB

15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap
Him in what He said. 16 And they sent their disciples to Him, along with
the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and
teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not
partial to any. 17 “Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to give a
poll-tax to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus perceived their malice, and
said, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 “Show Me the coin
used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a denarius. 20 And He
said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said to
Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the
things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 And
hearing this, they were amazed, and leaving Him, they went away.
- Matthew 22:18, 22-24 NASB

12 So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and
reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have
done to you? 13 You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for
so I am. 14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you
also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I gave you an example
that you also should do as I did to you.”
- John 13:12-15 NASB

45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine
pearls, 46 and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold
all that he had and bought it.
WISDOM FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT: The Parables of Jesus
Slide 8 of 41

3 And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, the
sower went out to sow; 4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the
road, and the birds came and ate them up. 5 “Others fell on the rocky
places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they
sprang up, because they had no depth of soil. 6 “But when the sun had
risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they
withered away. 7 “Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came
up and choked them out. 8 “And others fell on the good soil and
yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. 9“He
who has ears, let him hear.”
Slide 9 of 41

10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to
them in parables?” 11 Jesus answered them, “To you it has been
granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it
has not been granted. 12 For whoever has, to him more shall be given,
and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what
he has shall be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in
parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing
they do not hear, nor do they understand.”

16 “But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears,
because they hear. 17 For truly I say to you that many prophets and
righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to
hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”

14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;
15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the
lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16“Let your
light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

27 You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT
ADULTERY’; 28 but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman
with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Slide 24 of 41

10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise
master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But
each man must be careful how he builds on it. 11 For no man can lay a
foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
- 1 Corinthians 3:10-11 NASB
Slide 25 of 41

The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many
witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach
others also.
- 2 Timothy 2:2 NASB
Slide 26 of 41

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His
eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being
understood through what has been made, so that they are without
excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as
God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and
their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they
became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for
an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed
animals and crawling creatures.
- Romans 1:20-23 NASB

35 After quieting the crowd, the town clerk said, “Men of Ephesus, what
man is there after all who does not know that the city of the Ephesians
is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of the image which
fell down from heaven? 36 So, since these are undeniable facts, you
ought to keep calm and to do nothing rash.”

Spontaneous generation is discussed as a fact in literature
well into the Renaissance. Where, in passing, Shakespeare
discusses snakes and crocodiles forming from the mud of
the Nile, Izaak Walton again raises the question of the origin
of eels, "As rats and mice, and many other living creatures,
are bred in Egypt, by the sun's heat when it shines upon the
overflowing of the river...". While the ancient question of
the origin of eels remained unanswered and the additional
idea that eels reproduced from corruption of age was
mentioned, the spontaneous generation of rats and mice
engendered no debate. Slide 29 of 41

Stephen Hawking is giving humanity a tall order:
Colonize Mars in the next century or watch as life on
Earth fizzles out. After last year claiming that humans
have 1,000 years left on Earth, Hawking says in a new
documentary that we instead have about 100 years until
we'll need to jump ship as Earth is overwhelmed by
overpopulation, climate change, disease, and artificial
intelligence. - FoxNews.com

4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag
and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its
own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,
6does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all
things. 8 Love never fails...

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all
generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his
tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
27Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this:
to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself
unstained by the world.
- James 1:26-27 NASB
WISDOM FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT: Faith Put to Action
Slide 36 of 41

14 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has
no works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without
clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go
in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what
is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 Even so faith, if it has
no works, is dead, being by itself. 18 But someone may well say, “You
have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and
I will show you my faith by my works.”
- James 2:14-18 NASB
WISDOM FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT: Faith Put to Action
Slide 37 of 41

18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is
wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is
written, “He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR
CRAFTINESS”; 20 and again, “THE LORD KNOWS THE
REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS.”
Slide 38 of 41

20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater
of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For
since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come
to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the
message preached to save those who believe. 22 For indeed Jews ask
for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ
crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness, 24 but
to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of
God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is
wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Slide 39 of 41

1 And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of
speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. 2 For I
determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him
crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much
trembling, 4 and my message and my preaching were not in
persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of
power, 5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on
the power of God.
