A reason for writing

The prologue of the Wisdom of Jesus, the son Sirach, or Ecclesiasticus.......

Whereas many and great things have been delivered unto us by the law and the prophets, and by others that have followed their steps, for the which things Israel ought to be commended for learning and wisdom; and whereof not only the readers must needs become skillful themselves, but also they that desire to learn be able to profit them which are with without, both by speaking and writing.....

Comment: The instruction of divine learning and wisdom found in the Bible or the law and the prophets was shared with the people by  holy men through the spoken word and the written word to the intent that those who desire learning or lacked wisdom may profit from it. We find this concern for others to experience good from God's instruction throughout the bible. For example, the Apostles labored diligently to both preach and write down the teaching of Jesus and to unlock the scriptures of the Old testament not just for their generation but for all generations to come that would desire to know God.
 Read: 2 Peter 3:1-2
1: This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandments of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior.

Conclusion: So in this spirit of sharing , with the intention of being a blessing to all those who seek God in truth,  I write.I pray that God would guide us all in the spirit of true wisdom as we read and comment on the messages on this site, so we may all grow into a new and better man(humanity). Hear the words of Solomon as he writes and teach the people in The Wisdom of Solomon(Apocrypha) 6: 22-25
22: As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the Truth.
23: Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom.
24: But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.
25: Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good.

Brothers and sisters, in the multitude of the wise is the hope of the world.......
Shalam/ Peace unto you
May God bless you and keep you till we meet again
