Wisdom From on High

Mary

All around there are pieces of evidence to show the existence and nature of God. The mighty oceans show his power and the sun shows his love. The plants and animals show that he brings forth life. But, especially in human beings can you see the evidence of God. Human life is saturated with a spirit that can easily be missed. There is a spirit of love, of sacrifice and of service. There is a spirit of bonding, helping, forgiving and of repaying favors received and of giving favors without being asked. There is a spirit of helping the weak and going the extra mile with those in need. We call this the human spirit and man frequently takes credit for this human spirit. But just as human life comes forth from God, so, too, does this human spirit which bonds man to man and makes an unknown person your brother or sister, even for the short period of their need. This is a great mystery, a proof of God, which people overlook.

Often, there is a great spirit among brothers and sisters. Do not the parents deserve credit for installing the spirit of thoughtfulness?

The Teaching of Jesus

In spite of all this evidence, man could not come to know the fullness of God without the teaching of my Son. Man’s intellect could not climb into the bosom of God, so my Son came down from heaven to teach the hidden truths in the clearest of images. Pick up the gospel stories. In a few minutes you will learn more than your years of trying to gain wisdom.

Comment: A person with faith understands much more than a person with a gigantic intellect. The gospel stories can be read by all.
