In the midst of all the confusions of our day, it is important that we
find out that Jesus Christ is the Lord of all righteousness and the Lord
of all wisdom. Righteousness is not a word easily acceptable to lost men
and women in a lost world. Outside of the Word of God, there is no book
or treatise that can give us a satisfying answer about righteousness,
because the only One who is Lord of all righteousness is our Lord Jesus
Christ, Himself. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of His
kingdom. He is the only One in all the universe who perfectly loved
righteousness and hated iniquity. Our great High Priest and Mediator is
the righteous and holy One-Jesus Christ, our risen Lord. He is not only
righteous, He is the Lord of all righteousness!

Then, there is His wisdom.

The sum total of the deep and eternal wisdom of the ages lies in Jesus
Christ as a treasure hidden away. All the deep purposes of God reside in
Him because His perfect wisdom enables Him to plan far ahead! Thus
history itself becomes the slow development of His purposes.
