"Behold, a greater than Solomon is here".
It is the Queens 90th. birthday, she has said in one of her speeches that "Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, we still need saving from ourselves, our recklessness and our greed. God has sent a unique person a Saviour with the power to forgive".
The Queen although great acknowledges that she answers to a grater power and needs a Saviour.
King David who was a man after God's own heart says that he was born in sin.
Jeremiah 17 vs.9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
There is no distinction all have sinned.
In another speech the Queen says that "For me the life of Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace is an inspiration and an anchor. a role model of reconciliation and forgiveness. He stretched out His hands in love and forgiveness".
Romans 5 vs.6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
God sent His Son to die so that we might live.
The Queen in another speech says "To many of us our beliefs are of fundamental importance. The teachings of Christ and my own accountability before God provide a framework on which I will try and lead my life. I like so many of you have drawn comfort from the words and example of Christ."
Hebrew 9 vs.27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
We are all accountable to God;
If we are unsaved we are accountable to God for what we have done with His Son.
If we are saved we are accountable to God for what we have done for His Son.
Acts 16 vs.31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,
Jesus Died on the cross to bear the judgement of God in our place we need to repent and believe.
Revelation 20 vs.11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
1 Thessalonians 4 vs.13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
We can comfort or encourage each other with these things, that we can escape God's jugement if we are in Christ our Saviour
