The Greatest Of All
. . . A greater than Solomon is here.
Matthew 12:42
Jesus Christ made some amazing statements while He was here on earth. Look at these classic quotes from the lips of the Lord Jesus.
“Before Abraham was I am...” (John 8:58).
“I and My Father are one.” (John 10:30).
“...he that has seen Me has seen the Father...” (John 14:9).
“...I am the way, the truth and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6).
“…I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst” (John 6:35).
Through statements like these, Jesus plainly declared Who He was. But, His enemies were not content to take Him at His word. They demanded a sign (v 38). They did not want to hear a thing He had to say; what they wanted was for Him to perform a miracle to prove that He was the Messiah.
His response to them is clear. They will receive no sign but the sign of Jonah (v 39). Just as Jonah spent three days in the belly of the fish, Jesus would spend three days in the heart of the earth (v 40). He fulfilled that sign when He rose from the dead! (Matthew 28:6).
Do you know the One Who Is greater than Solomon? If you do, then you know why He is greater than Solomon or any other, for that matter.
