Wisdom Of The Teacher For College Students, Ch. 12Sample

Many scholars believe these two verses were written by someone else rather than by the Teacher himself. That makes a lot of sense, since the Teacher has spoken in the first person throughout our journey.

In addition to being a wise man, the Teacher was also a collector of wise sayings. He sought to teach the people the ways of wisdom in many areas of life. He both wrote and lived in a lifestyle of integrity. 

He sought to find words that were both beautiful and true to express the wisdom the Lord had granted to him. We too should seek to speak the truth in a way that is interesting and pleasant for those around us to hear. We don’t change the truth, but sometimes the way we say it can make all the difference in the way it is received.
