6. Working on Vapor | Ecclesiastes 2:18-26

Today we will finish chapter 2 in the book of Ecclesiastes and begin to move further into slightly less depressing chapters. Up till this point we see that Solomon hates life under the sun because all he sees is death. Death will be the end to all his wisdom, all his strivings, all of his pursuits. It is why Ecclesiastes pushes us to seek answers to Solomon’s questions in the rest of the Scriptures. Seeking answers leads us to Jesus who offers something else “under the sun.” He brings the Gospel, which is the good news that in Jesus our wisdom isn’t the only or best wisdom. He has come to rescue us from our self-focused and self-centered way of life so our perspective sees beyond the sun to truly see the son and be made new again.
