Solomon now turns to work for meaning and as a result, all he experiences is weariness. The Gospel provides the rest beneath the work that we need in order to thrive and to fulfill our life’s calling. Christians don’t work for rest, they work from rest.

Solomon now turns to pleasure to find happiness because he’s found that there’s nothing bigger to live for. He doesn’t deprive himself of any pleasures yet finds himself as unhappy as he was at the beginning of his quest. Only by gazing in the beauty of God can one’s heart’s longings be satisfied (3:11). The beauty of God presents itself in its clearest form in the Gospel.

Life is short, cyclical, and repetitive. How can we escape its boredom? The book of Ecclesiastes raises questions, where the rest of the Bible provides the answers. In the prologue, we learn that the meaning of life is found not in an idea or a principle but in a person.

It even lacks agreement on what the gospel actually...

Love is more than sentimentality. Love is work. Actually hard work. Love takes dedication, cultivation, and sacrifice. Without these three things no relationship can flourish, and without loving relationships, we die. As we focus on the God of The Bible we are reminded that God himself is love. The good news is that God who is love, is constantly working on our behalf. In the person of Jesus he pe...
