Sometimes it really is as though we say “if only Jesus had read the blogs I had read, or had the teacher I had had, or seen that documentary on the history channel I had seen, or listened to these guys on you-tube I had listened to, then he would have known what I know. Then he wouldn’t say these things. If only he had known that James Cameron had found his tomb! Twice! Then he would know better. Then he would think… like us. Like me.”

But all that is nonsense, of course. Jesus Christ is God. And his wisdom is so far beyond the wisdom of man, that the two are not even worth comparing. The foolishness of God, as St. Paul tells us, (if there even WERE such a thing,) is higher than the loftiest wisdom of man. People may stand on their tippie-toes and point to heaven and challenge Jesus and his ways. But it goes only to point to the folly of people. It only points to their blindness and arrogance. It does not take away the fact that Jesus IS wisdom.
