How do we know that Christ is greater than Solomon?

Matthew 12:42 declares that a greater than Solomon is present in Jesus Christ. Unlike Solomon, who was known for his wisdom, Christ embodies the fullness of God's wisdom and glory. He not only provides wise sayings but is the source of eternal life and salvation. Jesus fulfilled the prophecies and foreshadowing of the Old Testament, confirming His divine authority over all creation. His miracles, teachings, and ultimately His sacrificial death and resurrection demonstrate that He is greater in every way, as He reconciles sinners to God and grants eternal redemption.
