We know the Father through creative and incarnate Wisdom

The only-begotten Son, the Wisdom of God, created the entire universe. Scripture says: You have made all things by your wisdom, and the earth is full of your creatures. Yet simply to be was not enough: God also wanted his creatures to be good. That is why he was pleased that his own wisdom should descend to their level and impress upon each of them singly and upon all of them together a certain resemblance to their Model. It would then be manifest that God’s creatures shared in his wisdom and that his works were worthy of him.

The conversation delves into the pursuit of wisdom, the abundance of wisdom, and the value of wisdom over material possessions. It emphasizes seeking wisdom honestly, the importance of confession, gratitude, and edification, and the superior value of wisdom over material wealth.

Takeaways

• Seek wisdom honestly
• Confess sins, give thanks, and edify others
• Wisdom is more valuable than material possessions
