May 4, 2013 Weird Advice But True

Read Ecclesiastes 6 - 8 Weird Advice—But True! Eccl 7:2 Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies. WOW. Solomon is really down! A funeral is better than a party? Is that any way to look at life and the life of salvation God offers to us in Jesus Christ? Actually, it is one way to look at life. People really do need to know that one day they will die—unless Jesus comes back first. In either case, life as we know it on earth ends. And it’s true. When life on earth ends, there are two options for the next part of life: Hell or Heaven. We don’t like to think about that do we? We’d rather think about it when it’s “time”. But who knows when that time is? Who wants to get to the time of death too quickly or unprepared? To be prepared for any time that life on earth ends, we must seriously consider that we will die and our souls will live a state of eternal punishment or eternal joy. What’s more, it is good and necessary to consider, “What legacy will I leave?” Your life will impact future generations that come after you. Do you want your descendants to live well? Then live well now. Live in God’s purpose today for your family now. Live in God’s purpose today for your future family. Yes, funerals are more profitable to think of than parties. We must consider how we can live life to our purpose as we live in the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ. Trusting Christ to guide your life will give you that purpose and that joy. It’s True! A life on purpose in Jesus is a life to celebrate now and forever.
