Wisdom, understanding, counsel & might are unveiled in Jesus of Nazareth. In his letter to the Romans, Paul unwraps the complete truth — Jesus embraces even Gentile nations with divine hope, joy & peace. John the Baptist, with his abrasive appearance & unexpected rhetoric, forcefully proclaims both judgment against arrogant Pharisees & the need for repentance. Ultimately, Jesus alone casts final judgment on the fate of unbelievers & eternally claims salvation for repentant sinners. (Psalm 105:4-8 & Isaiah 40:3b; Isaiah 11:1-10; Romans 15:4-13; Matthew 3:1-12)
