Let your ears listen to wisdom. Apply your heart to understanding.Call out for the ability to be wise. Cry out for understanding.Look for it as you would look for silver. Search for it as you would search for hidden treasure.Then you will understand how to have respect for the Lord. You will find out how to know God.

All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in him.

It is much better to get wisdom than gold. It is much better to choose understanding than silver.

Moses had faith. So he refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. That happened after he had grown up.He chose to be treated badly together with the people of God. He chose not to enjoy sin’s pleasures. They only last for a short time.He suffered shame because of Christ. He thought it had great value. Moses considered it better than the riches of Egypt. He was looking ahead to his reward.

I thought things like that were really something great. But now I consider them to be nothing because of Christ.Even more, I consider everything to be nothing compared to knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. To know him is worth much more than anything else. Because of him I have lost everything. But I consider all of it to be garbage so I can know Christ better.I want to be joined to him. Being right with God does not come from my obeying the law. It comes because I believe in Christ. It comes from God because of faith.

In the same way, you must give up everything you have. Those of you who don’t cannot be my disciple.

Your heart will be where your riches are.

Buy the truth and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, instruction and understanding as well.

When the ruler heard this, he became very sad. He was very rich.Jesus looked at him. Then he said,“ How hard it is for rich people to enter God’s kingdom!

Suppose anyone has left houses, brothers or sisters, father or mother, husband or wife, children or fields because of me. Anyone who has done that will receive 100 times as much. They will also receive eternal life.

Peter answered him,“ We have left everything to follow you! What reward will be given to us?”

“ Come, all you who are thirsty. Come and drink the water I offer to you. You who do not have any money, come. Buy and eat the grain I give you. Come and buy wine and milk. You will not have to pay anything for it.

So here’s my advice. Buy from me gold made pure by fire. Then you will become rich. Buy from me white clothes to wear. Then you will be able to cover the shame of your naked bodies. And buy from me healing lotion to put on your eyes. Then you will be able to see.

It is written that“ no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human mind has known.”( Isaiah 64:4) God has prepared these things for those who love him.God has shown these things to us through his Spirit. The Spirit understands all things. He understands even the deep things of God.

Jesus answered,“ If you want to be perfect, go and sell everything you have. Give the money to those who are poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.”

All the believers were together. They shared everything they had.They sold property and other things they owned. They gave to anyone who needed something.Every day they met together in the temple courtyard. They ate meals together in their homes. Their hearts were glad and sincere.They praised God. They were respected by all the people. Every day the Lord added to their group those who were being saved.

Jesus told the crowd another story.“ Here is what the kingdom of heaven is like,” he said.“ A man planted good seed in his field.

So Zacchaeus came down at once and welcomed him gladly.All the people saw this. They began to whisper among themselves. They said,“ Jesus has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”But Zacchaeus stood up. He said,“ Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of what I own to those who are poor. And if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay it back. I will pay back four times the amount I took.”

You died. Now your life is hidden with Christ in God.Christ is your life. When he appears again, you also will appear with him in heaven’s glory.

You suffered along with people in prison. When your property was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew that God had given you better and more lasting things.

All the believers were agreed in heart and mind. They didn’t claim that anything they had was their own. Instead, they shared everything they owned.With great power the apostles continued their teaching. They were telling people that the Lord Jesus had risen from the dead. And God’s grace was working powerfully in all of them.So there were no needy persons among them. From time to time, those who owned land or houses sold them. They brought the money from the sales.They put it down at the apostles’ feet. It was then given out to anyone who needed it.

Why should a foolish person try to buy wisdom? They are not even able to understand it.

Everything written in the past was written to teach us. The Scriptures give us strength to go on. They encourage us and give us hope.

Then Jesus said,“ I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry. And whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Let the message about Christ live among you like a rich treasure. Teach and correct one another wisely. Teach one another by singing psalms and hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing to God with thanks in your hearts.

A person who isn’t friendly looks out only for themselves. They oppose all good sense by starting fights.
