Hey Solomon, A Righteous Man Was Found! His Name is Jesus

"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not." (Ecclesiastes 7:20)

Solomon wrote this verse in the waning years of his reign.

His wealth still rivals the wealthiest billionaires of our time. The gold, the riches, the fabulous wisdom he possessed impressed kings and ueens from all over the known world.

Yet even had to admit that there was not one just man, not one righteousman on the earth during his reign.



Then in the fullness of time, Jesus came:

"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons." (Galatians 4:4-5)

And

"But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:" (1 Corinthians 1:30)

In fact, we all received His righteousness at the Cross!

"17For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)" (Romans 5:17)

and

"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." (2 Corinthians 5:21)
