And the Ten Commandments, excuse me, the Ten Words, which are full of many commandments, are like 101, teaching wisdom, creating a moral universe of what it means to be an image of God.

And Jesus drew great wisdom and built off of it.

You can see that in his teachings, especially the Gospel of Matthew, which is really...

focused in on how Jesus' teachings develop the wisdom of the laws of the Torah.

We haven't even brought up the Sermon on the Mount and the case studies of don't murder and don't commit adultery.

But you can see Jesus doing it right there.

The same exact thing we've been talking about.

Yes.

Yeah.

In 1 Corinthians.

Okay.

And the context is so cool.

We don't have time to talk about it.

But what he says is the Messiah Jesus became for us God.

wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption.

Four character traits of God as wise, righteous, holy, and redeemer that he says the Messiah Jesus is the embodiment of all those.

And they kind of go together in a way.

So wisdom is about discernment between good and bad so you can choose the way into life.

Righteousness is right relationships.

Yeah, the fruit of it.
