How do we know that Jesus is greater than Jonah and Solomon?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is greater than Jonah and Solomon because He embodies divine wisdom and offers the gospel of grace, unlike Jonah's message of doom.

In Matthew 12, Jesus declares that He is 'a greater than Jonah' and 'a greater than Solomon.' Jonah's ministry was characterized by a call to repentance with no miracles accompanying it, while Jesus performed numerous miracles and preached a message of grace. Solomon possessed great wisdom, but Christ is the fulfillment of all wisdom as the God-man. The references to Jonah and Solomon serve to highlight the greater revelation and authority of Christ, thus calling for a response of faith from those who hear Him.
