Wise Way
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.” James 3:17-18 NKJV
Just as light shines on darkness for celebration of illumination, the wisdom from above is meant to enlighten the wicked wisdom of this world. When Jesus says ‘I am the Way’, it implies that relationship with Jesus is meant to offer the perfect wisdom of coordination in our wicked, self-centred and wayward world. That the world is broken and disconnected from the understanding of God is not news. What is always news is the righteous’ misrepresentation of the wise way in our wicked world. Therefore, God is more concerned about believers who are disconnected from the wise way than unbelievers who are creatively connected to wickedness. There is always a wise way out of the wickedness at home, workplaces, neighbourhood, and the society; and believers only are the holders of the key to the wise way. Obviously, believers must learn to follow the revelation and recommendations of Jesus on all relationships with people within their sphere of influence to be absorbed of joining the worldly game of wickedness.
