Jesus in the Old Testament: Lady Wisdom

 

I see a foreshadow of Christ in the words of Lady Wisdom:

 

 

Proverbs 8:22-23, 35 (NLT)
“The Lord formed me from the beginning,
before he created anything else.
I was appointed in ages past,
at the very first, before the earth began …
For whoever finds me finds life
and receives favor from the Lord.”

Sounds a lot like the Gospel of John:

John 1:1-2, 4
In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He existed in the beginning with God …
The Word gave life to everything that was created,
and his life brought light to everyone.

 


Good morning, Lord. You are the source of life and wisdom. You started and sustain every good thing. Forgive me for the times when I think I know it all, that my way is the right way. Teach me to look to You for direction and follow by faith, not sight
(2 Corinthians 5:7).
