The Reality Exceeds the Report
Commentators highlight that the Queen of Sheba, who may have been skeptical, found the reality of Solomon's wisdom to be far greater than the reports. Matthew Henry draws a parallel to the Christian faith, suggesting that any report about Christ's goodness pales in comparison to the personal experience of knowing Him. The reality of God's grace will always exceed our expectations.
