A Greater Than Solomon Is Here
Adrian Rogers
Matthew 12:42; 1 Kings 10:1-5
Take you bibles and turn with me to Matthew 12 and look with me in verse 42. Because I want to continue in theme of what we have been doing, and that is to give honor to our dear savior, for who's glory and in who's name this house has been built.

And the queen of sheba, why she came all the way from the uttermost part of the earth. Bible scholars believe that was somewhere around Ethiopia.

And Jesus said, if you don't get right with me, she's gonna rise up in the judgment and condemn you because a greater than Solomon is here.
Can you imagine what must have gone through thelr minds, when he said that? They said, 'why Solomon was a king's son, you're but a peasant's son, a carpenter's son. Solomon was born in a palace. You were born in a stable. Solomon was born in mighty magnificent Jerusalem. You were born in little Bethlehem. Why Solomon had thousands of servants. You don't have any. Solomon wore his kingly robe. You have just a seamle ...
