Matt 11:18-19 "For Yochanan came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Adam came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘See, a man, a glutton and a winedrinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ And wisdom was declared right by her works (Luk 7:35: children instead of works)." Sometimes those who proclaim the good news (like Yochanan and Y'shua) are insulted by spectators who fail to see the wisdom in what they are doing and saying. Others, who have come to know this message, and its profound effect in their own lives, see the wisdom of it all and rejoice in it – not needing any more proof to verify that it is wisdom, indeed.

Mat 12:42 "The sovereigness of the South shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Shelomoh, and look, One greater than Shelomoh is here." In the immediate context of this verse we have one of the best examples of the superior wisdom of Y'shua: Mat 12:38-40 " Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from You. But He answering, said to them, "A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Yonah. For as Yonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the great fish, so shall the Son of Adam be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." It is ironic that this evidence of the wisdom of the Messiah has been neglected for many centuries by those who insist that the Messiah had only been in the grave for two nights and one full day. See also 1 Cor 1:22.

Luk 2:40 "And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom. And the favour of Elohim was upon Him." This wisdom of Y'shua, even as a young child, was seen in the fact that He went to the temple and sat among the teachers "both listening to them and asking them questions" (2:46). It was also seen in the fact that He preferred to be engaged with "the matters of My Father" more than anything else (2:49). In this regard He has set a most worthy example, to be followed even by children and young people.

Luk 21:15 "For I shall give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to refute or resist." The Messiah Himself has promised that He would give wisdom to his followers – especially to speak words that others would not be able to deny or neglect. When will they need this kind of wisdom? They will need it when they will be "brought before sovereigns and rulers" for the sake of Y'shua’s Name (21:12). We can see how this came about in the life of Stephanos ("but they were unable to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke" – Acts 6:10). Believers will also need this wisdom when they will "be betrayed by parents and brothers and relatives and friends" (21:16). They will need it when they will be "hated by all because of My Name" (21:17), during the time immediately prior to the coming of the Messiah. Here we see that wisdom will be a vital quality in the lives of believers in the end times ("Possess your lives by your endurance!" – 21:19).

1Co 1:20 "Where is the wise? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Has not Elohim made foolish the wisdom of this world?" Shaul’s reasoning is that Yahweh has acted directly against the wisdom of this world by sending his own Son to this world and allowing Him to be impaled to a stake or tree – a symbol of being cursed of Yahweh, according to Devarim (Deut) 21:23. For many people the message of Messiah is one of foolishness and indeed, a stumbling-block (1 Cor 1:23), because they are incapable of appreciating the wisdom of Yahweh, which is often contrary to the wisdom of this world. Yahweh’s wisdom is regarded as "foolish" – nor only because the One He sent, is unacceptable, but also because the ones who are called out of this world to be his followers, are unacceptable (1 Cor 1:26-28).

1Co 1:30-31 "And of Him you are in Messiah Y'shua, who became for us wisdom from Elohim, righteousness also, and set-apartness and redemption, that, as it has been written, "He who boasts, let him boast in Yahweh." Y'shua is regarded as the ultimate expression of the wisdom of Yahweh. In Y'shua "are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Col 2:3). Through what Y'shua came to do in this world, Yahweh has lavished on us his favour "in all wisdom and insight" (Eph 1:8). Even to principalities and authorities in the heavenlies, "the many-sided wisdom of Elohim" has been made known through Y'shua, the Messiah (Eph 3:10). In Y'shua the Father has "made known to us the secret of His desire" since the beginning of time (Eph 1:9). There is nothing that we can boast about. "He who boasts, let him boast in Yahweh" (1 Cor 1:31; Yerm 9:23-24).

Jam 3:17 But the wisdom from above is first clean ("hagnos" related to Greek "hagios" or Hebrew "kodesh"= set apart), then peaceable ("eirenikos" related to Hebrew "shalom" = focussed on ultimate well-being of all believers), gentle ("epi-eikes" = to be even-minded and steady in conduct), ready to obey ("eupeithes" = easy to be convinced), filled with compassion and good fruits (in such a way that people always benefit when they come into contact with us), without partiality ("adiakritos" = not someone who discriminates) and without hypocrisy ("anhupokritos" = not someone who has a hidden agenda).
