Wisdom in a Vain Society

Jesus is the perfect ruler, the wisdom of God who needs no counselor. He is the One who feared God perfectly and was despised and rejected by man – treated as unrighteous. And yet for the joy set before him, he endured the cross and despised its shame. Now all who call on his name will be saved and we can rejoice in Jesus and honor his name in this vain world until he comes to make all things new!

Are you wise?
1. Trust God’s providence by submitting to your rulers (vv. 2-9).
2. Fear God when good laws are forsaken (vv. 10-13).
3. Be joyful (vv. 14-15).
