`Is it not amazing how quickly, people cannot handle prosperity? Solomon is likely the person in the Bible that had it all and could not be content with all of his blessings. His hundreds of wives (and that is a concerning subject in it's self) worshiped other gods. Solomon's allegiance to God began fragmenting and so did his kingdom. Wasn't it just yesterday we read of "Solomon's splendor?"
This is a valuable less for all leaders. We are only as strong as we are close to God. When we waver in our allegiance, so will our lives. This is the story of the Bible and our human condition!
On a positive note...Jesus forgives the woman caught in adultery. God will forgive the sinner and has more problems toward those who want to cast stones and ignore their own need of redemption. Another truth of the Bible and our human condition.
Jesus was before Abraham? This blows the religious leaders away. They gather stones but Jesus escapes for now. This statement helps our trinitarian theology of God. Jesus has always been. This helps us understand the "we" in Genesis.
