What is the difference between the 'life' given by wisdom in Proverbs and 'life' given by Jesus in 1 John?

Since Christ is the Wisdom of God:

   But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. —1 Corinthians 1:24

Both verses say that Christ is life. Therefore the life's are one and the same life.

Though the proverb was applicable to the people in the day it was written speaking of making life in this world better, it also contained the hidden references to Christ.
