How do we know Christ is greater than Solomon?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ is greater than Solomon because He embodies wisdom and righteousness far beyond any earthly king.

The Scriptures clearly demonstrate that Christ is far greater than Solomon. In Matthew 12:42, Jesus Himself says, 'Behold, a greater than Solomon is here,' indicating His supremacy over one of the wisest men in history. Solomon's wisdom and glory were gifts from God, yet Christ is presented in the New Testament as the ultimate revelation of God's wisdom and purpose. Hebrews 3:3 elaborates on this by stating that Christ is worthy of more glory than Moses, the builder of the house being greater than the house itself. This underlines not only Christ's superiority over Solomon but also His unique position as the Son of God who rules with supreme authority and understanding in a greater kingdom. The acknowledgment of Christ as greater than Solomon underscores His divine nature and the fullness of grace and truth found in Him.
