There isn’t a scrap of information, a byte of data or a spark of genius that He hasn’t known from eternity past. He possesses perfect knowledge and therefore has no need to learn. Jesus Christ - being God - is the embodiment of wisdom. Luke 2:40 says Jesus was “filled with wisdom and the grace of God was upon Him.” But with God’s grace always right around the corner, the experiences of life can enhance our wisdom. We let our parents, our past or our problems make us feel foolish and useless. Sometimes we bemoan our background and think less of ourselves than God does. He gave David and Bathsheba a God-loved son, Solomon, who would become the wisest man on earth. Yet a few verses later we turn the corner and bump into God’s overcoming grace. When we hear the linked names of “David and Bathsheba,” we’re reminded of one of the most scandalous stories of the Old Testament. When David committed adultery with Bathsheba and arranged her husband’s death, the baby resulting from that union died. 1 Kings 4:29 says, “God gave Solomon wisdom.” First, we must acknowledge that wisdom comes from God and is given by grace.
