1. Cor. 1. 24. the Holy Ghost tells us that Christ is the Power §. 2 of God and the Wisdom of God: not the Essential Wisdom of God, as He is his Eternal Son of the Father, upon which account He is called Wisdom in the Proverbs; chap. 8. 20, 21, 22, 23. but as he is crucified v. 23 As He is Crucified, ⟨p. 88⟩so he is the Wisdom of God; that is, all that Wisdom which God layeth forth for the discovery, and manifestation of himself, and for the Saving of Sinners, which makes foolish all the wisdom of the world; that is all in Christ Crucified, held out in him, by him, and to be obtained only from him; And thereby in him do we see the Glory of God 2 Cor. 3. last. For he is not only said to be the Wisdom of God, but also to be made Wisdom to us, 1 Cor. 1. 30. he is made not by Creation but Ordination and Appointment, Wisdom unto us; not only by teaching us Wisdom (by a Metonymy of the Effect for the cause) as he is the great Prophet of his Church, but also because by the knowing of him, we become acquainted with the Wisdom of God, which is our wisdom; which is a Metonymy of the Adjunct. This however verily promised, is thus only to be had. The sum of what is contended for, is asserted in terms, Col. 2. 3. in him dwell all the Treasures of Wisdom and Knowledge.
