Digging a bit deeper (what does it mean)

• Is there anything you found confusing/difficult to understand or hard to accept?

• How do you think these passages link together? What is the main theme?

• The Proverbs say that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.  Here we see Jeus as the true and better Solomon offering God’s wisdom.  So what is true wisdom to do with?

A look at ourselves
