Job 28:1-28
Talk Summary
When life doesn’t make sense, where do you go for wisdom? In Job 28, we’re taken on a journey to find it. First, we see humanity’s incredible ability to search by digging deep into the earth to uncover hidden treasure (v1–11). But then the question hits: can wisdom be found the same way? The answer is no. Wisdom can’t be discovered, located, or even bought (v12–19). No amount of skill, wealth, or insight can get us there.
So where is wisdom found? In the final section (v20–28), the answer becomes clear: God alone knows the way to wisdom and he gives it to those who fear him. To “fear the Lord” is to treat God as God: to trust him, honour him, and turn from evil, even when life is confusing or painful.
This talk explores how true wisdom isn’t something we uncover in the world, but something we receive from God and how, through Christ, we can learn to live wisely in every moment of life.
