Why should Christians focus on Christ and not earthly kings?
Answered in 1 source
Christians should focus on Christ because He is the eternal King whose righteousness and wisdom surpass all earthly rulers.
The focus on Christ rather than earthly kings is rooted in the understanding that all human authority is temporary and flawed. While Solomon was revered for his wisdom and wealth, he ultimately failed in his walk with God. In contrast, Christ's reign is perfect, everlasting, and rooted in divine authority. As believers, recognizing this distinction helps avoid idolatry in human leaders and calls us to trust fully in Christ for salvation and guidance. This focus ensures that Christians remain anchored in the truth and grace that only He provides, looking not to the strength of men but to the power of God.
