“True Wisdom”

Proverbs 8: 22: “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, before His works of old. From everlasting I was established, from the beginning, from the first times of the earth.” St. John, whose Feast Day we celebrate today, wrote His Gospel in Greek to counteract the Greek philosophy prevalent in His day. They thought wisdom began with Aristotle, Plato, and the rest, but as King Solomon wrote even before their time, wisdom came from almighty God, and was subjected to Him. In fact, Christ became for us wisdom from God. (1 Corinthians 1: 30)
