Practical wisdom

Luke 7:35 (New Living Translation)

But wisdom is shown right by the lives of those who follow it.

We tend to think of the Lord as Divine and His teachings as other worldly, and forget that He is completely human as well. The book of Proverbs compiled by King Solomon is not just a book of pithy and idioms, but the practical wisdom of Christ that's useful for everyday living. Christ demonstrated remarkable common wisdom that even exceeded the celebrated wisdom of the Pharisees. We'll do well to follow His everyday advice.
