Ecclesiastes 1 - The Vanity of Life

Ойын-сауық

The remarkable book of Ecclesiastes deals with some of the most profound questions of life: does life have meaning? Is there life beyond what I can see and feel? Solomon the preacher speaks this important message across the centuries to us today.
Here is a link to David Guzik's commentary on Ecclesiastes 1: enduringword.com/bible-commen...

    My pastor suggested we read Ecclesiastes and I opened my Bible but to be honest it got me feeling depressed and scared. Almost like hopeless, I couldn’t understand. I’m glad for this reminder, God gives my life meaning. Forgive me God if I let materialistic things be the center of my life. I surrender everything to You. Jesus I ask for You to come into my life because I know I can’t do anything without You. Be my Strength and Courage in Jesus Mighty Name. Forgive me for my Anger in Jesus Name. Amen.

    I am watching this in 2024. When pastor David said that technology numbs us and gives the illusion of newness he couldn’t have been more correct. Amazing amazing sermon. I was reading Ecclesiastes and was so confused because when I read it, it sounded like Debby downer but this sermon helped me understand Ecclesiastes better. Thank you🎉

    I am glad to find this sermon. This morning I read the Ecclesiastes 1, saddened because I couldn't understand it very much. Depressing to know that I lack knowledge but then, I am grateful to watch this, I was reminded that God is the one who truly gives meaning of Life and everything.

    I’ve never been more excited about the word of God this much ever since I was born again. This book Ecclesiastes is worth sharing to all creation who boast about life here on earth, but to us who are born again life is meaningful for we are sojourners here temporarily and our home is in eternity with Jesus Christ.

    So glad to have found this. The book of Ecclesiastes is one of my favorite books in the bible. It is a beautiful work which speaks of spiritual truth that is fitly woven into the life of the indvidual whose main connection in life is God overall. Proving that all is vanity but God and our connection to Him.

    Heavenly father, I completely agreement with this message I bind the word of ecclesiastes 1 for my life and the lives of my opponents at all times, loosening all vanity of life that comes against Christ upon no return in my life and loosening all vexation of spirit upon no return in my life, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!

    I now see the book of Ecclesiastes as one if the most important apart from Jesus words. All is vanity except for what you do for the kingdom. Eternal souls are the key to life. Seeing past the outside of people and looking at them as what they truly are, living souls that God created for a reason. Amen

    As I get older, I can relate to the seemingly meaninglessness of life. But I know The Lord has a reason for allowing cicumstances, and He has a great plan unfolding even if I do not see it. I studied this book as a teenager verse by verse and have not studied it since.

    Everything Is Meaningless 1The words of the Teacher, a son of David, king in Jerusalem: 2“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” 3What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? Improved quality of life and increased life expectancy who needs that ? Why would i want to enjoy 21st century dental care ? Why would i want to have tasty food from around the globe instead of just wheat & rice ? Who needs potato french fries with tomato sauce ? Will musical instruments in 3000 years time really be able to produce any more amazing tunes than a three stringed lute ? Will it really make my life more interesting to see all the things round this planet rather than just the few miles i can walk to ? Who cares if we understand how the wind flows so well that we can predict its speed and direction several days in advance ? Will there really be any meaningful improvement in science and technology ? What does it matter if we knew that it is the Earth which is rotating causing apparent sunrise and set rather than the sun moving ? So what if infant mortality can be greatly reduced just be improved sanitation, discovering how to make clean water. Why would i want to ride a fast racer bike along a smooth tar road or go kite surfing in amazing waves ? What could be better than watching the goats grazing the bushes and listening to the cricket chirp ?

    Solomon even as King understood life under the Sun is empty without God 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

    Some of what he is saying he has no idea. Solomon is not saying that God does not matter. Solomon is pretty much saying people wake up. You need to come to see God is reality. You need to come to Christ as reality in your living. Don’t live in the vanity of this world. Jesus says I am the way the truth and reality

    I can see why you believe he said that but if you watch it again, he doesn't say that. He says it's written from a perspective where IF God doesn't matter, then everything is vanity.

    In order to have all the experiences the human mind wants to experience death is mandatory. It is impossible to live forever + experience everything. Sometimes we feel inadequate in our place and seek more than everything already given to us. “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet; all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. Oh Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth” - Psalms 8
