Origen on Christ being the power and wisdom of God

"[...]if by wisdom one understands Christ, since Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God, we say not only that a man wise in this sense can come to the Father, but also that the man adorned with the spiritual gift called 'the word of wisdom', which is conferred by the Spirit, is far superior to people who are not so adorned." (Con. Cel. VII,23)
