Christ advanced in wisdom, and we are to do the same. If our growth ends with a diploma then we become cases of arrested mentality. The Scripture says Christ grew in wisdom. Wisdom is something more than knowing facts. Wisdom means we shall know how to use facts. Wis dom is taking the same facts and turning them toward creative ends. “Life demands that we give more to life than we receive. For Christ, life is not based on what one accu mulates but upon the contribution he makes to the welfare of all. God ex pects us to contribute more to life than we receive. Christianity is to serve rather than be served. All of us are ambitious: some selfishly, some unselfishly. Let us know that our fit ness measures our attainments. Life demands something of us.
