Prophet and King

MAT 12:38-42 ESV

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you." But he answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.  For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.  The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.  The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

In the commentary by Witness Lee, he points out that Solomon came chronologically before Jonah.  But Jesus's works of prophecy, death, and resurrection came before His reign as King.

Heavenly Father, thank you for the work of Christ.  Lord Jesus, you are prophet, priest, and King.  I trust your redeeming work, and I honor you and submit to you as King.  I love you, and I want to walk with you in your redeeming work.  I ask in the name of Jesus Christ.
