My child, 

eat honey, 

for it is good, 

and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste. 

In the same way, 

wisdom is sweet to your soul. 

If you find it, 

you will have a bright future,

and your hopes will not be cut short.

Proverbs 24:13-14 NLT

Can we see Jesus in this proverb written hundreds of years before he was born?

He is the wisdom that is "sweet to your soul". He is the one to seek out, who gives nourishing and healing and hope. 

It is in Jesus that our future is bright (even if today's circumstances are yelling something different right now).

It is in Jesus that our hope is not cut short, because Jesus is our living hope, the one who entered death, absorbed it all on our behalf, so that we might have Life.

Jesus is the one to seek out, and to let in to those inmost parts of us.
