The Lord was contrasting the glory of Solomon to that of the lilies of the field. As glorious as Solomon kingdom was, we learn from Jesus’s statement that his earthly glory wasn’t as magnificent as that of the Lilies of the field ( that is actually short lived). To fully comprehend the thoughts of the Lord, let’s first take a look at Solomon’s glory. The best passage that sums it up is 1 Kings 10: 1-10, the visit of the Queen of Sheba. See video below

My name is Tayib Salami and I started Tayibs.com for the sole purpose of exploring difficult questions about the Christian faith that most of us shy away from. In 2017, I entered a very dark time in my life and it’s only by the grace of the Living God that I’m still alive today. It led me to really go deeper in my faith and consider a myriad of questions that I never thought about asking myself or others before. Welcome and enjoy the ride with me.
