Isa 11:1-2, 1 Cor 1:24,30, Col 2:2-3, Mt 6:33, Mt 13:44-46, 2 Pt 3:18
In the Old Testament, it is said that if people listen to the word of wisdom and seek it, they will come to know God. (Proverbs 2:2-5)
Proverbs 2:2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
In the Old Testament, it was prophesied that God's spirit of wisdom would come upon a descendant of Jesse. (Isa 11:1-2)
Isa 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
Jesus is the wisdom of God and the mystery of God. (1 Corinthians 1:24,30, Colossians 2:2)
1 Corinthians 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
If we seek first the kingdom of God and Christ, the righteousness of God, then God adds all things to us. (Mt 6:33)
Mt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Discovering that Jesus is the Christ is like finding a treasure hidden in a field. (Mt 13:44-46)
Mt 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
We need to know more deeply that Jesus is the Christ through the Old and New Testaments. (2 Peter 1:8)
2 Peter 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
