Wisdom’s Call
Rev. A. A. Ferris
First Assembly of God Church
Prov. 1:20-29
The book of Proverbs is said
to “Represent the very science
of practical philosophy.” It is
divided into two sections;
Chapters 1-9, Wisdom’s Ways;
and chapters 10-31, Wisdom’s
Words. The words “The
fear of the Lord, which is the
beginning of knowledge” (v7)
may be taken as the keynote of
the book. They occur thirteen
times. These Proverbs are
literally “Comparisons” in
practical “parables.”
The wisdom personified here
(8,12) stands for the highest
intellectual sagacity, and the
purest moral character, and
finds its perfect fulfillment in
the Person and Character of
the Lord Jesus Christ, who is
“The Wisdom of God,” and
who is “made of God unto us,
Wisdom, Righteousness,
Sanctification and
Redemption.” In this cry of
Wisdom, let us hear the voice
of Christ. We can hear it in the
voice of:
I. COMPASSION. Wisdom
crieth without ... in the
streets, in the “openings of the
gates.” (v 20). This message is
for the “man in the street,” as
well as the ruler at the gates.
This voice seeks to ring in
every street, city, county. It is
the cry of God to a perishing
world. He came, not to call the
rightous, but sinners.
II. REPROOF. From Adam
and Eve until this present day.
God has been reproving people
of sin. Many are the excuses
given why the Words of God
are not heeded. Some yield
themselves to the influence of
other, not taking time to
“Stand still, and ask for the
good old paths.” It is better to
stand for God than to be
influenced by friends in the
wrong way.
III. “Turn ye at my
reproof.” (v 23). Wisdom, like
Christ, calls, and entreats, but
will not compel. “Turn ye.”
The responsibility is with the
hearer. God will call but we
must answer. He appeals to the
will; to the reason. “Come now
and let us reason together saith
mm
REV. A. A. FERRIS
FIRST ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH
the Lord.” The most tenderest
call that is ever given is to the
wayward person. Come and let
us reason. How beautiful to the
thirsty soul of mankind are
these words.
IV. PROMISE. “Behold, I
will pour out my Spirit unto
you, and I will make known
my words unto you. He will
meet the real need of the
Simple, the Scorner, and the
Fool, by imparting unto them
His own regenerating Spirit,
and making them to receive
and understand His precious,
soul-satisfying words. God’s
law is perfect, and so is His
remedy for the soul of men.
V. LAMENTATION. “I have
called, and ye refused ... and
would none of my reproof.”
(w. 24, 25). This is the
language of wounded love, like
that in Matt. 23, 37. His “call”
was refused, His “stretched out
hand” was disregarded, His
“counsel” was at naught. His
“reproof’ they would have
none of. His “Call”, His
“Counsel”, His “Entreaty”,
and His “Reproof’ had been
alike fruitless, because of the
hardness of their heart.
Therefore, because man will
not need the voice of God that
must come . ..
VI . JUDGMENT.
“Because ... ye refused d . .. I
also will laugh at your
calamity.” “I will mock when
your fear comes.” etc. (vv
26-29). There is nothing more
certain than this, that fear
cometh upon all the ungodly
sooner or later. Those who
have willingly rejected His call
of Mercy, will find their Call of
Fear rejected. If the Spirit of
God has called you unto
repentance and you have
refused to heed that call,
would you take the time to
read the first chapter of
Proverbs; trusting to hear the
invitation of the Lord again.
God loves you and His will is
that you might accept Him as
Lord and Saviour.' TODAY IS
THE DAY OF SALVATION,
NOW IS THE ACCEPTED
TIME. Wisdom is calling;
