4. Finding Fulfillment In Life (2)
INTRODUCTION
The Book of Ecclesiastes shows THE SEARCH FOR THE MEANING OF LIFE. This search led Solomon farther and farther from his Creator. Then one day, he wakes up and sees that it is all so empty. Solomon sees no purpose in such a life. How sad Solomon became!
Solomon shows us the unsatisfactory nature of life under the sun and its ensuing labour. In his quest to find fulfilment or satisfaction in life, Solomon in his old age conceded that there is no true happiness without God in the arithmetic of life.
Solomon teaches us to esteem the spiritual, to find fulfilment with God is true happiness. He tells us that the wisdom of this world gives us no such happiness. It is barrenness and a sullen cold chill.
