The sermon titled "Solomon and the Queen of Sheba" by Don Bell explores the theological significance of recognizing the glory and wisdom inherent in God, as displayed through Solomon and ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He argues that the Queen of Sheba's journey to seek Solomon illustrates humanity's desperate need for divine wisdom, pointing out how her acknowledgment of Solomon's knowledge and wealth compares unfavorably to the greater wisdom and riches of Christ. Key Scripture references, including 1 Kings 10:1-10 and Matthew 12:42, indicate that just as the Queen deemed Solomon worthy of her time and resources, Christians must recognize the surpassing worth of Christ and His wisdom, which is foundational to Reformed soteriology. This significance lies in the call to commune with Christ, to seek His wisdom and grace, ultimately leading to a profound transformation and understanding of God's character and redemptive plan.
“If everything [Solomon] got from Christ, and so if Christ has everything, then what do we have when we got from Christ?”
“The only reason you and I are saved is to glorify His Son.”
“When God, when the Holy Spirit comes, He takes Christ... and creates a new creature.”
“If you was the person you used to be, you wouldn't be here right now.”
