748, RE: Christ as Wisdom
Posted by guest, Wed May-26-04 03:26 AM
This is interesting, because Christ seemed to identify himself as such.

Luke 11:49 On this account the wisdom of God also said, 'I will send forth to them prophets and apostles, and they will kill and persecute some of them,

Now note the following.

Matthew 23:34 For this reason, here I am sending forth to YOU prophets and wise men and public instructors. Some of them YOU will kill and impale, and some of them YOU will scourge in YOUR synagogues and persecute from city to city;

The words are Christ's words, though he attributes them to Wisdom, which he himself is. Hence the Apostle Paul makes the identification as well.

1 Corinthians 1:24 however, to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

I might suggest you read C. F. Burney, "Christ as the APCH of Creation," Journal of Theological Studies 27, as it draws on the clear parallel between Prov 8:22, Col 1:15 and Rev 3:14.
