- To appreciate the significance of God’s fatherly invitation to Solomon but remember Jesus is the true Son.
- To understand that true wisdom is a heart that fully listens to God’s word, so that a wise person discerns what is good & evil according to God’s word and then also obeys God!
Implications
- Belief (Head / Heart) – Know that Jesus is the promised King, the true heir to God’s kingdom, and the perfectly wise Son of God. Remember Solomon was only a partial fulfilment.
- Behaviour (Hands) – Ask Jesus for true wisdom (a heart that fully listens to Jesus – trusting, belonging and obeying him). Turn to his Word to so that we can discern what is good and evil.
