The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
Matthew 12:42
Disparity? Do you think? Today, the 85 richest people on the planet have a higher net worth than 3.5 billion of the poorest (the lowest 50% of all humanity). The wealthiest 1% of the world own 99% of all worldly goods. And yet that’s nothing! King Solomon made Israel’s economy so rich that silver was considered as stones. But, then, he only dealt with gold; he controlled the world supply.
For decades now, the president of the United States has been hailed as the “most powerful man in the world.” However, Ol’ Solomon was the first to own that title, and his place in the history books will remain long after the leaders of today are forgotten.
All that having been said, Christ Jesus is Greater than Solomon in every aspect.
Wisdom… Christ is the “Wisdom of God.”
Wealth… The Lord made all the gold in all the galaxies of the universe.
Long-life… Jesus is eternity years old and has another eternity to go.
Power… All the mighty ones on earth will flee the wrath of the Lamb.
Victory over enemies …The Savior has conquered sin, death, and hell.
Holiness… Solomon was bankrupt in this regard.
Disparity… The Lord of Glory’s great wealth and power are shared with His joint-heirs.
Bottom Line: Christ is Greater than Solomon.
