The search for wisdom (sapientia) spans the human experience across time because we are created to seek wisdom. In seeking after wisdom, mankind is seeking Him who is the source of all wisdom – the only wise God. However, since the fall, the children of Adam and Eve have embraced the foolish ways of sin and have sought wisdom apart from God. Christ alone is the fulfilment for the human yearning for wisdom.
This sermon was preached by Rev Christopher Poshin David on November 16, 2025, at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Chennai.
Scripture Lessons: Proverbs 8:12-36; 1 Corinthians 1:18-31
Advent Series: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (on the O Antiphons)
The O Antiphons, an ancient church tradition, are a series of seven prayers addressed to Jesus Christ, and sung in the season of Advent. These prayers are relevant for us in the modern world too for in these prayers we address the same living Christ who has come, will come, and is coming to his people even today.
