The Crimson Thread of Christmas – Proverbs

Greetings Dear Reader,

The thread weaves through Proverbs in so many ways as the writer lays out the way of wisdom.  We see Jesus as the obedient Son and the wise Bridegroom.  The Proverbs treat life as a series of wisdom and foolish choices.

It is the Wise Messiah that the Old Testament promises.  It is the way of wisdom that leads us to him.  It is the actions of wisdom that reveal the Jesus is the Messiah.

The Way of Wisdom – Michael Card

The Way of Wisdom starts out

With a step of holy fear

And it makes its way alone

By every good word that you hear

It has to do with passion

And it has to do with pain

It has to do with One

Who has both died and rose again

Died and rose again

And the Way of Wisdom is living

The Path of Peace is forgiving

Behold the Man of Meaning

Behold, He is the Lord

The way of understanding lies

In not how much you know

Where the pathway is a person

That you've come to love and so

You can stop pretending that it all depends on you

For it's not how much you love

As much as how much He loves you

How much He loves you

And the Way of Wisdom is living

The Path of Peace is forgiving

Behold the Man of Meaning

Behold, He is the Lord

And the Way of Wisdom is living

The Path of Peace is forgiving

Behold the Man of Meaning

Behold, He is the Lord

The Way of Wisdom beckons us

To find the end of fear that perfect love pursues

Wisdom did not come to simply speak the words of truth

He's the Word that makes us true

The Way of Wisdom starts out

With a step of holy fear

That's only the beginning

And there's much more that is clear

The path leads on to love

And love is fearless in its ways

For Love Himself was not afraid

To die that we'd be saved

To die that we'd be saved

And the Way of Wisdom is living

The Path of Peace is forgiving

Behold the Man of Meaning

Behold, He is the Lord

And the Way of Wisdom is living

The Path of Peace is forgiving

Behold the Man of Meaning

Behold, He is the Lord

Behold, He is the Lord

Wishing you joy in the journey,
