What's the Point? (A Study in Ecclesiastes: Part 1)නියැදිය

To read Ecclesiastes is to wonder sometimes if Q has any hope! But, remember, Q’s perspective is “under the sun.” He lived and wrote before God became flesh and came to live among us. As followers of God living under the new covenant, we know that Jesus is the one who gives our lives purpose and meaning. He has died for us to find enjoyment and hope in life. He encourages us to find treasures in heaven instead of on earth. He wants us to come to him with our burdens and weariness, confident that He will give our souls rest. And He has given us the Holy Spirit so that we can come to Him even when we don’t quite know how or what to say. Jesus can handle the hard things of life, and He is inviting you to come to Him.

Ask Yourself: What is the hope of Jesus Christ? Do I live each day with this hope in front of me?

Pause to Pray: Bring all your weariness and toil in prayer to God. Look up and see Jesus!

Take the Next Step: Think about how you can invest more in treasures in heaven, then take one small step towards doing it.
