00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.660
 Ecclesiastes 12, 9-14.

00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:08.800
 In addition to being a wise man, the preacher also taught the people knowledge.

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:13.400
! And he pondered, searched out, and arranged many proverbs.

00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:18.460
! The preacher sought to find delightful words and to write words of truth correctly.

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:25.300
 The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails.

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:27.519
 They are given by one shepherd.

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.719
 But beyond this, my son, be warned.

00:00:31.539 --> 00:00:37.579
 The writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body.

00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:41.939
 The conclusion, when all has been heard, is,

00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:47.260
 Fear God and keep his commandments, because this applies to every person.

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:54.859
 For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:56.100
 Amen.

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.760
 Opening question for you.

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:03.820
 How much information do you consume?

00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:05.540
 And where do you consume it?

00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:07.379
 A little bit of a confession.

00:01:08.219 --> 00:01:12.719
 Before I actually give my confession, I told Christine this just last night,

00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.600
 and she gasped audibly.

00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.000
 And then I felt embarrassed.

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.500
 And now I feel even more embarrassed sharing it this morning.

00:01:20.179 --> 00:01:21.280
 So here's the confession.

00:01:22.019 --> 00:01:25.079
 I am subscribed to 112 podcasts.

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:28.119
 I couldn't believe it.

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:29.319
 I counted every one of them.

00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:31.199
 And maybe you're just like, yeah, no problem.

00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.019
 I'm like, I have 200 podcasts.

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:34.759
 Like, no, that's nothing.

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:35.979
 That's small, small potatoes.

00:01:35.980 --> 00:01:38.260
 I thought it was maybe 40.

00:01:38.740 --> 00:01:39.620
 And I counted them up.

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:40.480
 It was 112.

00:01:40.740 --> 00:01:41.780
 112 podcasts.

00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:49.140
 I will say, of those, 74 shows, I have listened to at least some part of some episode this year.

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.040
 So there's a lot of them that I don't listen to.

00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:52.859
 Some have kind of gone defunct.

00:01:52.859 --> 00:01:54.340
 I haven't unsubscribed.

00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.079
 So maybe the 112 isn't so big of a number after all.

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:08.800
 But then I figured that out of those 74, I have a consistent rotation of about 40 that I listen to somewhat regularly.

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.479
 Some weekly, others in spurts.

00:02:11.020 --> 00:02:11.879
 But 40 in total.

00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:14.680
 Some, a small amount, are pure entertainment.

00:02:14.939 --> 00:02:18.099
 It's like an audio story that's in a podcast form, whatever.

00:02:18.860 --> 00:02:20.920
 But so 40.

00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.139
 40 episodes.

00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:26.739
 And I thought about this this past week.

00:02:26.839 --> 00:02:32.239
 And I thought, how on earth am I able to consume that kind of information?

00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:34.079
 And the answer is, I can't.

00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:36.019
 How about you?

00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.439
 What information are you consuming and how are you consuming it?

00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.579
 Does much of this information that you consume actually stick?

00:02:46.839 --> 00:02:49.299
 I can say for myself, I don't think it does.

00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:56.900
 How can one consider a dozen separate talks every single week?

00:02:58.580 --> 00:03:04.500
 Is there room for reflection or contemplation in your life as you consider the knowledge you take in?

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:06.300
 And then another question.

00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:09.100
 What is the ultimate purpose of this level of consumption?

00:03:09.980 --> 00:03:13.360
 Is it making you, is it making me wiser?

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.520
 I think this is a really important question.

00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:17.520
 Do we want to be wise?

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:26.560
 I said, at this point, what I am doing is I am preparing for, like in three decades maybe, I'm going to appear on Jeopardy.

00:03:26.940 --> 00:03:29.660
 And that's where all that information is going to come to use.

00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:30.120
 Maybe.

00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:34.980
 But I'm not contemplating it in a way that is making me wiser.

00:03:34.979 --> 00:03:39.099
 Helping me to live better, necessarily.

00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:39.939
 How about you?

00:03:41.359 --> 00:03:47.780
 How are you processing all of the information and knowledge and truth that comes into your life?

00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:56.659
 Last week, we examined verse 8 of chapter 12 of Ecclesiastes.

00:03:56.939 --> 00:04:03.020
 And that was the conclusion of the book from the point of view of the teaching of the sage.

00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:14.200
 Verse 8 ends, it's a bit of a bookend, with verse 2 of chapter 1, where the sage both, I guess, opens and closes the book by saying,

00:04:14.300 --> 00:04:16.120
 Vanity of vanity, all is vanity.

00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.259
 That's how he ends Ecclesiastes.

00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:28.100
 This week, now that the sage has finished, a new character, and it could very well be the same writer as the sage.

00:04:28.100 --> 00:04:29.140
 It could be the same person.

00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:36.280
 But it's clearly a different voice that we encounter starting in verse 9.

00:04:36.420 --> 00:04:38.320
 And it is the voice of a commentator.

00:04:39.580 --> 00:04:46.220
 This is more of a summary section, verses 9 to 14 of chapter 12, that wraps up the book.

00:04:46.280 --> 00:04:49.820
 And the commentator is going to summarize the sage's teachings.

00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:57.080
 He's going to help us to understand the importance of not just taking in truth or taking in information,

00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:58.959
 but contemplating it.

00:04:59.959 --> 00:05:00.139
 Okay?

00:05:00.300 --> 00:05:08.039
 Applying it to our lives so that we may hopefully become wise men and women as we live out this mortal life under the sun.

00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:17.160
 All of the investigations that the sage has conducted, all of the conundrums and tensions that we've explored,

00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:22.600
 make it clear that wisdom is not just about this transfer of knowledge,

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:27.200
 but about learning to apply these ultimate truths to our lives,

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:35.300
 so that we don't merely become somebody who's really good at trivia night,

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.420
 but somebody who is quite wise in their dealings.

00:05:39.219 --> 00:05:44.919
 And then ultimately, we will see that wisdom not just helps us to be wise,

00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.959
 but reveals to us this ultimate purpose for our lives,

00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:56.519
 and how that ultimate purpose of our individual lives ultimately helps us to participate in the purpose of all of creation.

00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:59.620
 That creation was designed with wisdom,

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.519
 and it is going towards a very specific end.

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.639
 And the wise person understands that we get to participate in that.

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.279
 So, reflecting on the sage's teachings, the commentator,

00:06:13.740 --> 00:06:17.860
 and that's who I'll be referring to throughout this sermon,

00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:23.039
 the commentator will make clear that the meaning and purpose in life we all seek

00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:26.399
 are discovered through the proper application of truth,

00:06:26.979 --> 00:06:33.039
 allowing us to lead truly wise lives for a very specific purpose.

00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:39.480
 So, the commentator sums up the sage's teachings,

00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:43.600
 and helps us to see the joy that wisdom brings,

00:06:44.300 --> 00:06:46.820
 the guidance that wisdom offers,

00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.759
 and then ultimately the purpose that wisdom gives.

00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:52.759
 So, jump in it with me.

00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.780
 We're on page 44 of these individual books.

00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.480
 There is one left at the welcome table.

00:06:58.740 --> 00:06:59.720
 Feel free to grab it.

00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.140
 It is our gift to you.

00:07:02.139 --> 00:07:03.639
 Better late than never.

00:07:03.740 --> 00:07:06.759
 There's also individual Bibles that you can grab to follow along.

00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:09.879
 If you can, resist using a Bible app,

00:07:10.219 --> 00:07:12.459
 because you'll get distracted.

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:14.740
 And I know that because I'll get distracted.

00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:16.379
 So, try to open a physical book.

00:07:16.719 --> 00:07:17.539
 Page 44.

00:07:18.060 --> 00:07:19.259
 We'll jump into our first point.

00:07:19.659 --> 00:07:21.079
 The joy that wisdom brings.

00:07:21.539 --> 00:07:22.759
 Let's read verses 9 and 10.

00:07:24.180 --> 00:07:25.519
 Besides being wise,

00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:28.019
 the preacher also taught the people knowledge,

00:07:28.740 --> 00:07:30.479
 weighing and studying and arranging

00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:32.039
 many proverbs with great care.

00:07:33.099 --> 00:07:35.300
 The preacher sought to find words of delight,

00:07:35.860 --> 00:07:38.599
 and uprightly he wrote words of truth.

00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:40.919
 Notice first how the commentator

00:07:40.919 --> 00:07:45.500
 begins by affirming the pedigree and motive of the sage.

00:07:46.379 --> 00:07:48.180
 He was indeed, that is the sage,

00:07:48.259 --> 00:07:49.879
 he was indeed wise and skilled

00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:52.240
 at compiling and bringing together

00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.639
 the various materials that we have

00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.439
 and we've been reading through in Ecclesiastes.

00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.160
 He was discerning.

00:07:58.660 --> 00:07:59.639
 He was intelligent.

00:08:00.819 --> 00:08:01.800
 But more importantly,

00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:03.240
 he understood his role

00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.120
 as a learned and wise man,

00:08:05.219 --> 00:08:05.980
 as a sage.

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.180
 And what was that purpose?

00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.779
 It was to serve the people around him.

00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:13.720
 His pursuit of wisdom and understanding

00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:15.579
 aimed to help those nearby

00:08:15.579 --> 00:08:18.000
 flourish and grow

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.040
 and become wise in their own right.

00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.500
 But what was the purpose of this wisdom?

00:08:24.260 --> 00:08:27.400
 Just to avoid the pitfalls of life under the sun

00:08:27.400 --> 00:08:28.360
 or was there something more?

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:30.520
 We get a bit of a clue

00:08:30.520 --> 00:08:32.279
 when we consider how the commentator

00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.639
 describes an aspect of wisdom

00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.159
 as words of delight.

00:08:38.819 --> 00:08:40.580
 I don't think the text is saying

00:08:40.580 --> 00:08:44.059
 that the sage took together

00:08:44.059 --> 00:08:45.480
 all this information

00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.039
 and was just really good at prose

00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:49.720
 and made it roll off your tongue

00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:50.720
 so it is memorable.

00:08:51.819 --> 00:08:54.799
 I think what is being understood here

00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.460
 is that the sage or the preacher

00:08:57.460 --> 00:09:02.779
 was communicating the importance of wisdom

00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:04.200
 for our own personal joy.

00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:06.059
 Not happiness,

00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:08.299
 not joy in a moment,

00:09:08.500 --> 00:09:10.580
 but a deep heart joy.

00:09:12.199 --> 00:09:14.279
 And why is this an important consideration for us?

00:09:16.179 --> 00:09:18.519
 I think it's for a couple reasons,

00:09:18.659 --> 00:09:19.919
 but here's a big one.

00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:22.779
 We are skilled at framing information

00:09:22.779 --> 00:09:23.879
 to serve our agenda.

00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:26.519
 Sometimes it's appropriate

00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.939
 to present information positively

00:09:28.939 --> 00:09:30.840
 rather than pessimistically.

00:09:30.980 --> 00:09:32.439
 I think it's a really important thing to do.

00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:34.980
 But more often than not,

00:09:35.060 --> 00:09:38.320
 we engage in crisis management

00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.460
 that leads us to treat the truth as flexible.

00:09:42.540 --> 00:09:46.180
 That truth becomes more like modeling clay

00:09:46.180 --> 00:09:47.400
 than it is a rock.

00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:49.160
 We can bend it,

00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:50.060
 we can shape it,

00:09:50.140 --> 00:09:52.840
 we can make it look the way we want it to look.

00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.820
 I mean,

00:09:54.860 --> 00:09:55.840
 it's common in politics,

00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.920
 but I would suggest to you

00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:00.220
 that it's much more common in our own lives.

00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:03.000
 I'll give an example.

00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.840
 It's from my own life,

00:10:05.899 --> 00:10:06.519
 it's from this week.

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.659
 This week I spoke disrespectfully

00:10:09.659 --> 00:10:10.500
 to a family member.

00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:12.580
 I was frustrated

00:10:12.580 --> 00:10:14.259
 and I reacted without thinking.

00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:16.000
 Very,

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:18.259
 I was not charitable

00:10:18.259 --> 00:10:19.360
 to this family member.

00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:21.700
 And I had to apologize,

00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:24.059
 but I wanted to apologize

00:10:24.059 --> 00:10:24.940
 with excuses.

00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:27.520
 I was tired.

00:10:29.260 --> 00:10:29.480
 You know,

00:10:29.560 --> 00:10:30.840
 you misunderstood me.

00:10:32.780 --> 00:10:33.180
 Listen,

00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.060
 if you only understood maybe this,

00:10:35.580 --> 00:10:37.020
 I listened to a podcast last week,

00:10:37.060 --> 00:10:38.020
 I wasn't going to say that,

00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:38.480
 by the way.

00:10:40.340 --> 00:10:41.140
 A podcast,

00:10:41.400 --> 00:10:41.560
 you know,

00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:42.320
 this information,

00:10:42.560 --> 00:10:42.900
 you know,

00:10:43.020 --> 00:10:44.800
 justifies me pushing back

00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:45.620
 against this or that.

00:10:46.280 --> 00:10:47.200
 All I wanted to do

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:48.340
 was apologize

00:10:48.340 --> 00:10:49.820
 and then do it

00:10:49.820 --> 00:10:50.420
 in such a way

00:10:50.420 --> 00:10:53.860
 that made me feel

00:10:53.860 --> 00:10:55.740
 ultimately justified

00:10:55.740 --> 00:10:58.379
 in speaking ill

00:10:58.379 --> 00:10:59.340
 and disrespectfully

00:10:59.340 --> 00:11:00.899
 to this family member.

00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:05.680
 I'll just say,

00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:06.820
 and this is like,

00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:08.420
 you know,

00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:09.879
 this isn't the regular,

00:11:10.180 --> 00:11:11.660
 but by God's kindness

00:11:11.660 --> 00:11:12.400
 and grace

00:11:12.400 --> 00:11:15.200
 and through some good

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.400
 kind of like dialogue

00:11:16.400 --> 00:11:18.040
 with my dear wife,

00:11:18.340 --> 00:11:20.639
 I was able

00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:21.500
 to just say sorry

00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:23.440
 and not justify it

00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:24.420
 even though it killed me

00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:26.740
 because I wanted to be right.

00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:29.639
 And it demonstrated to me

00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:30.420
 and I think it's helpful

00:11:30.420 --> 00:11:31.399
 for us to consider

00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.660
 how we are,

00:11:33.980 --> 00:11:35.259
 we play loose and fast

00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:35.840
 with truth

00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.840
 so that it can suit us.

00:11:39.700 --> 00:11:40.720
 We are fine

00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:41.720
 to sacrifice

00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.220
 an aspect of the truth,

00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.639
 say the 20%

00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:46.139
 of the truth

00:11:46.139 --> 00:11:47.280
 that is a bit sticky

00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.000
 and prickly

00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:49.559
 and difficult.

00:11:50.199 --> 00:11:51.399
 So we can affirm

00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:52.500
 80% of the truth,

00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:55.120
 but in doing so,

00:11:55.539 --> 00:11:56.019
 what we do

00:11:56.019 --> 00:11:56.679
 is we ultimately

00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.179
 sacrifice the truth

00:11:58.179 --> 00:11:58.959
 upon the altar

00:11:58.959 --> 00:11:59.699
 of our ego.

00:11:59.700 --> 00:12:03.980
 does it,

00:12:03.980 --> 00:12:05.800
 doing such a thing,

00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:06.420
 does it bring

00:12:06.420 --> 00:12:07.460
 true happiness?

00:12:07.820 --> 00:12:08.259
 Does it bring

00:12:08.259 --> 00:12:08.940
 true flourishing?

00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:09.220
 Again,

00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:10.960
 consider the wisdom

00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:11.879
 that the sage

00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:12.660
 has put forward

00:12:12.660 --> 00:12:13.680
 is a wisdom

00:12:13.680 --> 00:12:14.420
 that is to bring

00:12:14.420 --> 00:12:15.220
 both joy

00:12:15.220 --> 00:12:17.080
 and ought to be

00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:17.820
 integral.

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.259
 It is for the sake

00:12:20.259 --> 00:12:21.160
 of other people,

00:12:21.400 --> 00:12:21.600
 right?

00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:23.280
 The flourishing

00:12:23.280 --> 00:12:23.920
 and the betterment

00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:24.720
 of somebody else.

00:12:25.580 --> 00:12:26.259
 If I would have,

00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:27.240
 and by the way,

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:28.340
 this is not bragging,

00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:30.320
 I have a thousand times,

00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:31.120
 okay,

00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:33.040
 had a sorry,

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:33.620
 not sorry

00:12:33.620 --> 00:12:34.440
 type of apology.

00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.220
 But in those situations,

00:12:37.680 --> 00:12:38.740
 does that either

00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:39.379
 bring me

00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:40.440
 true joy

00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:41.800
 or does it elevate

00:12:41.800 --> 00:12:42.720
 and help the other

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:43.460
 person to flourish?

00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:44.060
 And I would say,

00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:44.280
 no,

00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:44.759
 it doesn't.

00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:50.860
 I am fine

00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:53.120
 for reputational

00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.059
 crisis management

00:12:56.059 --> 00:12:56.799
 to sacrifice

00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:57.580
 my joy

00:12:57.580 --> 00:12:59.200
 and somebody else's

00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.159
 good opportunity

00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:01.659
 to grow

00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:02.500
 and to flourish

00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:04.179
 so that I feel

00:13:04.179 --> 00:13:04.720
 a bit better

00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:05.460
 about myself.

00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:09.639
 It's quite remarkable

00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:12.879
 that given

00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:13.700
 all of what

00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:15.180
 the sage has said

00:13:15.180 --> 00:13:16.180
 in Ecclesiastes,

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:19.500
 that what he is

00:13:19.500 --> 00:13:20.259
 suggesting

00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:21.940
 by wise living

00:13:21.940 --> 00:13:23.040
 would even

00:13:23.040 --> 00:13:23.800
 lend itself

00:13:23.800 --> 00:13:24.320
 to joy.

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:26.280
 So much of Ecclesiastes,

00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:27.240
 when we've interacted

00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:27.660
 with it,

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:29.420
 has been heavy.

00:13:30.580 --> 00:13:31.480
 It's been a lot

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.040
 of tension

00:13:32.040 --> 00:13:32.960
 between do this,

00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:33.800
 don't do this.

00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:35.819
 I'm going to elevate

00:13:35.819 --> 00:13:37.459
 this aspect of life,

00:13:37.539 --> 00:13:38.120
 I'm going to take

00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:39.379
 that same aspect of life

00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:40.799
 and say that it is vain.

00:13:41.620 --> 00:13:42.839
 And so much of life

00:13:42.839 --> 00:13:43.579
 was cast

00:13:43.579 --> 00:13:44.919
 in a really

00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:47.120
 difficult light.

00:13:47.500 --> 00:13:48.179
 A real light,

00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:49.120
 but a difficult one.

00:13:50.699 --> 00:13:51.879
 More than one occasion

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:53.219
 somebody said to me

00:13:53.219 --> 00:13:54.219
 throughout these weeks,

00:13:54.539 --> 00:13:56.079
 I'm ready for Ecclesiastes

00:13:56.079 --> 00:13:56.839
 to be finished.

00:13:58.539 --> 00:13:59.519
 And yet,

00:14:00.299 --> 00:14:01.359
 right off the bat,

00:14:01.479 --> 00:14:02.279
 we are seeing that

00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:02.979
 the sage

00:14:02.980 --> 00:14:05.120
 is teaching wisdom

00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:05.860
 in such a way

00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:07.039
 that if it does not

00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:07.720
 bring joy

00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:08.580
 into our hearts,

00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:10.100
 then it might not

00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:10.860
 be true wisdom.

00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:14.779
 Wisdom must always

00:14:14.779 --> 00:14:15.659
 have in mind

00:14:15.659 --> 00:14:16.720
 a self-giving.

00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:19.420
 Since truth

00:14:19.420 --> 00:14:20.259
 should be both

00:14:20.259 --> 00:14:20.800
 integral

00:14:20.800 --> 00:14:21.840
 and bring joy,

00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:23.060
 according to the sage,

00:14:24.060 --> 00:14:25.060
 it isn't just

00:14:25.060 --> 00:14:26.139
 for us to possess,

00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:27.300
 but must be shared

00:14:27.300 --> 00:14:28.180
 for the benefit

00:14:28.180 --> 00:14:28.680
 of others.

00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:30.379
 therefore,

00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:32.239
 one can't be

00:14:32.239 --> 00:14:33.339
 both wise

00:14:33.339 --> 00:14:34.239
 and selfish.

00:14:35.199 --> 00:14:35.759
 These things

00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:36.479
 are completely

00:14:36.479 --> 00:14:38.299
 incongruous.

00:14:39.359 --> 00:14:40.120
 You cannot be

00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:40.919
 integral

00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:41.679
 and joyful

00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:42.239
 if you are

00:14:42.239 --> 00:14:43.379
 weaponizing the truth

00:14:43.379 --> 00:14:44.759
 to serve your own

00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:45.279
 agenda.

00:14:47.019 --> 00:14:47.879
 If you live

00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:48.359
 according to

00:14:48.359 --> 00:14:49.039
 half-truths

00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:49.919
 or manipulated

00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:50.439
 truths

00:14:50.439 --> 00:14:51.739
 or self-serving

00:14:51.739 --> 00:14:52.279
 truths,

00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:53.339
 you are

00:14:53.339 --> 00:14:54.500
 actually living

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:55.259
 by lies

00:14:55.259 --> 00:14:55.799
 and not truth

00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:56.139
 at all.

00:14:58.519 --> 00:14:59.319
 And almost

00:14:59.319 --> 00:14:59.659
 certainly,

00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:00.699
 you will not

00:15:00.699 --> 00:15:01.639
 experience a

00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:02.000
 genuine,

00:15:02.620 --> 00:15:03.519
 deep joy.

00:15:04.419 --> 00:15:05.319
 You might enjoy

00:15:05.319 --> 00:15:05.719
 ease,

00:15:05.819 --> 00:15:06.319
 but not true

00:15:06.319 --> 00:15:06.659
 joy,

00:15:07.359 --> 00:15:08.199
 as living an

00:15:08.199 --> 00:15:08.639
 integral,

00:15:08.859 --> 00:15:09.299
 joy-filled

00:15:09.299 --> 00:15:10.879
 life is often

00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:11.879
 a very challenging

00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:12.659
 one because it

00:15:12.659 --> 00:15:13.939
 requires humility.

00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:15.799
 And you will

00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:16.459
 certainly never

00:15:16.459 --> 00:15:17.339
 enjoy the fruits

00:15:17.339 --> 00:15:18.279
 of wise living.

00:15:21.979 --> 00:15:22.899
 I wonder

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:23.579
 if

00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:26.280
 we take

00:15:26.280 --> 00:15:26.820
 some time

00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:27.379
 this week

00:15:27.379 --> 00:15:27.780
 or maybe

00:15:27.780 --> 00:15:28.360
 this afternoon

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:29.240
 to contemplate

00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:29.700
 some of the

00:15:29.700 --> 00:15:30.340
 sages' words

00:15:30.340 --> 00:15:32.680
 and if you

00:15:32.680 --> 00:15:33.400
 in your

00:15:33.400 --> 00:15:34.120
 contemplation

00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:34.560
 have a bit

00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:35.400
 of self-reflection

00:15:35.400 --> 00:15:36.040
 and ask some

00:15:36.040 --> 00:15:36.500
 of the difficult

00:15:36.500 --> 00:15:37.100
 questions.

00:15:38.220 --> 00:15:39.139
 Am I living

00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:39.700
 according to

00:15:39.700 --> 00:15:40.139
 the truth

00:15:40.139 --> 00:15:42.220
 or a shadow

00:15:42.220 --> 00:15:42.780
 of the truth

00:15:42.780 --> 00:15:43.500
 or 90%

00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:44.060
 of the truth

00:15:44.060 --> 00:15:45.440
 or maybe

00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:45.940
 I've treated

00:15:45.940 --> 00:15:46.340
 the truth

00:15:46.340 --> 00:15:46.860
 not as a

00:15:46.860 --> 00:15:47.240
 rock

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:48.360
 but as

00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:48.860
 some clay.

00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:50.060
 And then

00:15:50.060 --> 00:15:50.680
 ask yourself

00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:51.200
 the question

00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:52.480
 in those

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:53.120
 circumstances

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:53.480
 and in

00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:53.899
 my life

00:15:53.899 --> 00:15:54.379
 generally

00:15:54.379 --> 00:15:55.860
 am I

00:15:55.860 --> 00:15:56.500
 experiencing

00:15:56.500 --> 00:15:57.259
 a deep

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:58.139
 heart joy

00:15:58.139 --> 00:15:59.440
 or just

00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:00.039
 moments

00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:00.720
 of ease?

00:16:04.300 --> 00:16:04.860
 Friends,

00:16:04.980 --> 00:16:05.180
 are you

00:16:05.180 --> 00:16:05.840
 finding joy

00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:06.220
 in how

00:16:06.220 --> 00:16:06.720
 you're living

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:07.659
 while

00:16:07.659 --> 00:16:08.180
 considering

00:16:08.180 --> 00:16:08.639
 what is

00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:09.480
 truly right

00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:10.940
 and wise?

00:16:13.740 --> 00:16:14.539
 So wisdom

00:16:14.539 --> 00:16:15.019
 must bring

00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:15.320
 joy

00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:16.879
 or it's

00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:17.379
 not wisdom

00:16:17.379 --> 00:16:18.500
 but wisdom

00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:19.180
 also

00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:20.219
 offers

00:16:20.219 --> 00:16:20.799
 guidance

00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:21.419
 in a

00:16:21.419 --> 00:16:21.620
 very

00:16:21.620 --> 00:16:22.239
 turbulent

00:16:22.239 --> 00:16:22.759
 life

00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:23.519
 and as

00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:23.719
 we've

00:16:23.719 --> 00:16:23.979
 seen

00:16:23.979 --> 00:16:24.299
 over

00:16:24.299 --> 00:16:25.000
 10

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:25.419
 weeks

00:16:25.419 --> 00:16:26.799
 in

00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:27.559
 Ecclesiastes

00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:28.159
 well really

00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:28.399
 it's been

00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:29.079
 12 weeks

00:16:29.079 --> 00:16:29.620
 but 10

00:16:29.620 --> 00:16:30.219
 sermons

00:16:30.219 --> 00:16:30.939
 in Ecclesiastes

00:16:30.939 --> 00:16:30.959
!

00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:32.219
 We've seen

00:16:32.219 --> 00:16:32.779
 that life

00:16:32.779 --> 00:16:33.339
 under the

00:16:33.339 --> 00:16:33.519
 sun

00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:33.879
 is quite

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:34.279
 turbulent.

00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:35.679
 So

00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:36.899
 wisdom

00:16:36.899 --> 00:16:37.399
 brings joy

00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:37.679
 but it

00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:38.159
 also brings

00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:38.519
 guidance.

00:16:38.659 --> 00:16:38.919
 This leads

00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:39.239
 us into

00:16:39.239 --> 00:16:39.739
 our second

00:16:39.739 --> 00:16:40.179
 point.

00:16:40.739 --> 00:16:41.019
 Look with

00:16:41.019 --> 00:16:41.239
 me at

00:16:41.239 --> 00:16:41.759
 verses 11

00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:42.199
 and 12.

00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:43.179
 Actually

00:16:43.179 --> 00:16:43.519
 we'll just

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:44.059
 read verse

00:16:44.059 --> 00:16:44.659
 11 for

00:16:44.659 --> 00:16:44.859
 now.

00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:58.139
 Here we

00:16:58.139 --> 00:16:58.539
 see that

00:16:58.539 --> 00:16:58.879
 wisdom

00:16:58.879 --> 00:16:59.460
 guides

00:16:59.460 --> 00:17:00.180
 our lives

00:17:00.180 --> 00:17:00.440
 through

00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:00.820
 two

00:17:00.820 --> 00:17:01.320
 images

00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:02.779
 goads

00:17:02.779 --> 00:17:03.259
 and

00:17:03.259 --> 00:17:03.700
 nails.

00:17:05.700 --> 00:17:06.440
 First

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:06.599
 let's

00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:06.799
 take a

00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:07.039
 look at

00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:07.559
 goads.

00:17:09.099 --> 00:17:09.519
 It's

00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:09.920
 a term

00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:10.660
 we might

00:17:10.660 --> 00:17:11.019
 not be

00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:11.319
 too

00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:11.660
 familiar

00:17:11.660 --> 00:17:11.920
 with

00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:12.099
 but

00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:12.319
 think

00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:12.519
 a

00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:12.920
 staff

00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:13.059
 or

00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:13.240
 a

00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:13.559
 switch

00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:14.420
 used

00:17:14.420 --> 00:17:14.600
 to

00:17:14.600 --> 00:17:14.920
 guide

00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:15.120
 a

00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:15.440
 stubborn

00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:15.759
 herd

00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:16.120
 animal

00:17:16.120 --> 00:17:16.539
 presumably

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:16.900
 a

00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:17.140
 sheep

00:17:17.140 --> 00:17:18.759
 by

00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:19.259
 inflicting

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:19.980
 some

00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:20.259
 kind

00:17:20.259 --> 00:17:20.380
 of

00:17:20.380 --> 00:17:20.860
 discomfort

00:17:20.860 --> 00:17:21.980
 to

00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:22.360
 them

00:17:22.360 --> 00:17:22.720
 so

00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:22.940
 that

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:23.340
 they

00:17:23.340 --> 00:17:23.500
 are

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:23.800
 led

00:17:23.800 --> 00:17:24.180
 away

00:17:24.180 --> 00:17:24.380
 from

00:17:24.380 --> 00:17:24.880
 danger

00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:25.259
 and

00:17:25.259 --> 00:17:25.820
 towards

00:17:25.820 --> 00:17:26.440
 nourishment

00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:26.720
 and

00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:27.060
 safety.

00:17:27.900 --> 00:17:28.460
 There's

00:17:28.460 --> 00:17:28.800
 pain

00:17:28.800 --> 00:17:29.320
 involved

00:17:29.320 --> 00:17:30.440
 there's

00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:30.940
 discomfort

00:17:30.940 --> 00:17:31.480
 and perhaps

00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:31.759
 even

00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:32.259
 confusion

00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:32.759
 why is

00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:32.880
 this

00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:33.180
 happening

00:17:33.180 --> 00:17:33.560
 to me

00:17:33.560 --> 00:17:34.519
 but

00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:34.680
 the

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:35.100
 shepherd's

00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:35.460
 goal

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:36.039
 the

00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:36.259
 good

00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:36.779
 shepherd's

00:17:36.779 --> 00:17:37.019
 goal

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:38.100
 is

00:17:38.100 --> 00:17:38.480
 the

00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:38.820
 health

00:17:38.820 --> 00:17:39.120
 of

00:17:39.120 --> 00:17:39.279
 the

00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:39.580
 sheep

00:17:39.580 --> 00:17:40.240
 the

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:40.460
 health

00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:40.700
 of

00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:40.840
 the

00:17:40.840 --> 00:17:41.080
 herd

00:17:41.080 --> 00:17:42.420
 the

00:17:42.420 --> 00:17:42.820
 second

00:17:42.820 --> 00:17:43.779
 image

00:17:43.779 --> 00:17:44.240
 is

00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:44.899
 nails

00:17:44.899 --> 00:17:45.759
 it

00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:46.139
 describes

00:17:46.139 --> 00:17:46.399
 nails

00:17:46.399 --> 00:17:46.559
 but

00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:46.899
 really

00:17:46.899 --> 00:17:47.460
 if it

00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:47.799
 would

00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:48.139
 help

00:17:48.139 --> 00:17:49.460
 think

00:17:49.460 --> 00:17:49.660
 of

00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:49.980
 tent

00:17:49.980 --> 00:17:50.619
 pegs

00:17:50.619 --> 00:17:51.240
 in the

00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:51.720
 ancient

00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:53.119
 eastern

00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:53.819
 mediterranean

00:17:53.819 --> 00:17:55.139
 a lot of

00:17:55.139 --> 00:17:55.940
 semi-nomadic

00:17:55.940 --> 00:17:56.379
 living

00:17:56.379 --> 00:17:56.920
 there were

00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:57.279
 shelters

00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:57.559
 that were

00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:58.099
 put up

00:17:58.099 --> 00:17:59.639
 storms

00:17:59.639 --> 00:17:59.899
 and

00:17:59.899 --> 00:18:00.480
 disasters

00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:01.000
 and

00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:01.779
 maybe

00:18:01.779 --> 00:18:02.099
 even

00:18:02.099 --> 00:18:03.099
 catastrophes

00:18:03.099 --> 00:18:03.660
 would

00:18:03.660 --> 00:18:03.940
 come

00:18:03.940 --> 00:18:04.399
 upon

00:18:04.399 --> 00:18:04.839
 people

00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:05.440
 in the

00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:05.799
 wilderness

00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:06.899
 the

00:18:06.899 --> 00:18:07.319
 nails

00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:07.680
 had to

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:08.119
 secure

00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:08.399
 the

00:18:08.399 --> 00:18:08.740
 shelter

00:18:08.740 --> 00:18:09.660
 so that

00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:09.799
 there

00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:09.920
 would

00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:10.059
 be

00:18:10.059 --> 00:18:10.220
 a

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:10.399
 level

00:18:10.399 --> 00:18:10.559
 of

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:11.119
 stability

00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:11.740
 and

00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:12.160
 safety

00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:13.700
 that

00:18:13.700 --> 00:18:13.860
 the

00:18:13.860 --> 00:18:14.160
 shelter

00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:14.380
 would

00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:14.519
 be

00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:15.000
 integral

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.340
 see

00:18:17.340 --> 00:18:17.500
 the

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:17.900
 pegs

00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:18.000
 or

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:18.160
 the

00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:18.600
 nails

00:18:18.600 --> 00:18:20.120
 hold

00:18:20.120 --> 00:18:20.800
 secure

00:18:20.800 --> 00:18:21.160
 what

00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:21.360
 would

00:18:21.360 --> 00:18:21.840
 otherwise

00:18:21.840 --> 00:18:22.060
 be

00:18:22.060 --> 00:18:22.300

00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:32.019
 flee

00:20:32.019 --> 00:20:32.440
 from

00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:35.339
 it

00:20:35.339 --> 00:20:35.500
 is

00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:35.960
 remarkable

00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:36.240
 how

00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:36.420
 there

00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:36.740
 isn't

00:20:36.740 --> 00:20:37.059
 really

00:20:37.059 --> 00:20:37.839
 a

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:38.400
 new

00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:38.940

00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:40.059
 heresies

00:20:40.059 --> 00:20:40.879
 but

00:20:40.879 --> 00:20:41.240
 really

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:41.819
 a

00:20:41.819 --> 00:20:42.240
 small

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:42.799
 collection

00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:43.299
 of

00:20:43.879 --> 00:20:44.319
 old

00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:44.640
 ones

00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:44.819
 that

00:20:44.819 --> 00:20:44.980
 just

00:20:44.980 --> 00:20:45.160
 get

00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:46.059
 repackaged

00:20:46.059 --> 00:20:46.819
 for

00:20:46.819 --> 00:20:46.960
 the

00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:47.119
 new

00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:47.640
 generation

00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:48.379
 with

 modern

00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:49.299
 speak

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:50.180
 and

00:20:50.180 --> 00:20:50.420
 just

00:20:50.420 --> 00:20:52.059
 maybe

00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:52.980
 promises

00:20:52.980 --> 00:20:54.359
 that

00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:54.660
 are a

00:20:54.660 --> 00:20:54.759
 bit

00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:54.980
 more

00:20:54.980 --> 00:20:55.599
 grandiose

00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:55.799
 than

00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:55.980
 the

 generation

00:20:56.420 --> 00:20:56.879
 before

00:20:56.879 --> 00:20:58.740
 this

00:20:58.740 --> 00:20:58.940
 seems

00:20:58.940 --> 00:20:59.160
 to be

00:20:59.160 --> 00:20:59.700
 affirmed

00:20:59.700 --> 00:21:00.680
 by

00:21:03.539 --> 00:21:03.740

 with

00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:03.980
 me

00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:04.080
 at

00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:06.900
 beware

00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:07.039

00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:10.180
 this

00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:10.320
 is

00:21:10.320 --> 00:21:10.500
 not

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:10.820
 just

00:21:10.820 --> 00:21:11.160
 a

00:21:15.060 --> 00:21:15.380
 almost

00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:15.820
 certainly

00:21:15.820 --> 00:21:16.080
 would

00:21:16.080 --> 00:21:16.360
 refer

00:21:16.360 --> 00:21:16.700
 to

00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:47.240
 ourselves

00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:48.080
 and

00:24:48.080 --> 00:24:48.660
 interestingly

00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:49.020
 not

 even

00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:52.100
 is

00:24:52.100 --> 00:24:52.220
 an

00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:23.139
 things

00:28:23.139 --> 00:28:23.799
 are bound

00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:24.180
 to go

00:28:24.180 --> 00:28:24.639
 awry

00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:28.360
 ultimately

00:28:28.360 --> 00:28:28.880
 we deny

00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:29.100
 his

00:28:29.100 --> 00:28:29.400
 goodness

00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:29.720
 we

00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:30.000
 deny

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:30.220
 that

00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:30.400
 he

00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:30.600
 is

00:28:30.600 --> 00:28:30.740
 the

00:28:30.740 --> 00:28:31.080
 creator

00:28:31.080 --> 00:28:31.560
 and

00:28:31.560 --> 00:28:31.680
 the

00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:31.920
 truly

00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:32.320
 wise

00:28:32.320 --> 00:28:32.620
 one

00:28:32.620 --> 00:28:33.360
 and

00:28:33.360 --> 00:28:33.520
 that

00:28:33.520 --> 00:28:33.780
 in

00:28:33.780 --> 00:28:34.080
 him

00:28:34.080 --> 00:28:34.320
 there

00:28:34.320 --> 00:28:34.560
 are

00:28:34.560 --> 00:28:35.000
 joys

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:35.840
 unspeakable

00:28:35.840 --> 00:28:36.800
 we

00:28:36.800 --> 00:28:37.120
 know

00:28:37.120 --> 00:28:37.340
 where

00:28:37.340 --> 00:28:37.660
 true

00:28:37.660 --> 00:28:38.000
 joy

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:38.660
 resides

00:28:38.660 --> 00:28:38.840
 and

00:28:38.840 --> 00:28:39.080
 it's

00:28:39.080 --> 00:28:39.360
 not

00:28:39.360 --> 00:28:39.600
 in

00:28:39.600 --> 00:28:40.040
 God

00:28:40.040 --> 00:28:40.980
 that's

00:28:40.980 --> 00:28:41.080
 what

00:28:41.080 --> 00:28:41.200
 we

00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:41.460
 say

00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:42.720
 that's

00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:42.840
 what

00:28:42.840 --> 00:28:43.020
 I

00:28:43.020 --> 00:28:43.280
 say

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:45.639
 and

00:28:45.639 --> 00:28:45.899
 all

00:28:45.899 --> 00:28:46.059
 of

00:28:46.059 --> 00:28:46.259
 this

00:28:46.259 --> 00:28:46.599
 stems

00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:47.019
 from

00:28:47.019 --> 00:28:48.539
 what

00:28:48.539 --> 00:28:48.859
 the

00:28:48.859 --> 00:28:49.180
 Christian

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:49.440
 faith

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:49.819
 calls

00:28:49.819 --> 00:28:50.500
 the

00:28:50.500 --> 00:28:50.779
 fall

00:28:50.779 --> 00:28:51.220
 and

00:28:51.220 --> 00:28:52.019
 much

00:28:52.019 --> 00:28:52.180
 and

00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:52.359
 I've

00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:52.539
 touched

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:52.700
 on

00:28:52.700 --> 00:28:52.859
 this

00:28:52.859 --> 00:28:53.180
 a

00:28:53.180 --> 00:28:53.599
 little

00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:53.839
 bit

00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:54.279
 but

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:54.680
 much

00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:54.799
 of

00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:55.000
 what

00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:56.180
 overshadows

00:28:56.180 --> 00:28:56.359
 the

00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:56.740
 entirety

00:28:56.740 --> 00:28:56.940
 of

00:28:56.940 --> 00:28:57.559
 Ecclesiastes

00:28:57.559 --> 00:28:58.259
 is

00:28:58.259 --> 00:28:58.599
 Genesis

00:28:58.599 --> 00:28:58.920
 1

00:28:58.920 --> 00:28:59.059
 2

00:28:59.059 --> 00:28:59.359
 3

00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:02.519
 where

00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:03.200
 mankind

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:04.559
 disobeyed

00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:04.859
 God

00:29:04.859 --> 00:29:05.299
 and now

00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:05.700
 every

00:29:05.700 --> 00:29:07.259
 subsequent

00:29:07.259 --> 00:29:07.980
 generation

00:29:07.980 --> 00:29:09.519
 is doomed

00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:10.639
 to elevate

00:29:10.639 --> 00:29:11.160
 ourselves

00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:11.599
 to a

00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:11.960
 godlike

00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:12.500
 status

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:13.539
 and fail

00:29:13.539 --> 00:29:13.940
 utterly

00:29:13.940 --> 00:29:14.359
 fail

00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:14.680
 in doing

00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:14.960
 so

00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:16.700
 so

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:17.059
 you see

00:29:17.059 --> 00:29:17.279
 to

00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:17.900
 to

00:29:17.900 --> 00:29:18.460
 revere

00:29:18.460 --> 00:29:19.140
 and to

00:29:19.140 --> 00:29:19.619
 fear

00:29:19.619 --> 00:29:20.019
 and to

00:29:20.019 --> 00:29:20.539
 enjoy

00:29:20.539 --> 00:29:20.960
 and to

00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:21.220
 serve

00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:21.380
 the

00:29:21.380 --> 00:29:21.539
 one

00:29:21.539 --> 00:29:21.759
 true

00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:22.200
 God

00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:23.319
 creator

00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:23.519
 of

00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:23.799
 heaven

00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:24.059
 and

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:24.299
 earth

00:29:24.299 --> 00:29:24.559
 is

00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:25.900
 precisely

00:29:25.900 --> 00:29:26.500
 what

00:29:26.500 --> 00:29:26.660
 we

00:29:26.660 --> 00:29:26.880
 were

00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:27.440
 destined

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:27.920
 for

00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:30.539
 and

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:30.980
 yet

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:32.660
 we

00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:33.720
 are

00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:34.420
 time

00:29:34.420 --> 00:29:34.539
 and

00:29:34.539 --> 00:29:34.900
 again

00:29:34.900 --> 00:29:35.660
 proof

00:29:35.660 --> 00:29:36.019
 that we

00:29:36.019 --> 00:29:36.400
 can't

00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:36.700
 attain

00:29:36.700 --> 00:29:36.940
 it

00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:38.079
 we

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:38.220
 know

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:38.380
 our

00:29:38.380 --> 00:29:38.779
 purpose

00:29:38.779 --> 00:29:39.599
 we

00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:39.799
 see

00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:40.160
 wisdom

00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:40.440
 as

00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:40.579
 our

00:29:40.579 --> 00:29:40.900
 guide

00:29:40.900 --> 00:29:41.019
 in

00:29:41.019 --> 00:29:41.099
 the

00:29:41.099 --> 00:29:41.319
 ultimate

00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:41.859
 joys

00:29:41.859 --> 00:29:42.079
 that

00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:42.400
 await

00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:42.740
 us

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:43.360
 and

00:29:43.360 --> 00:29:43.759
 try

00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:44.040
 as

00:29:44.040 --> 00:29:44.200
 we

00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:44.460
 might

00:29:44.460 --> 00:29:44.640
 we

00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:44.840
 can

00:29:44.840 --> 00:29:45.060
 never

00:29:45.060 --> 00:29:45.400
 enjoy

00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:45.540
 it

00:29:45.540 --> 00:29:45.800
 so

00:29:45.800 --> 00:29:46.240
 the

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:46.519
 question

00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:46.840
 again

00:29:46.840 --> 00:29:50.019
 are we

00:29:50.019 --> 00:29:50.220
 going to

00:29:50.220 --> 00:29:50.620
 put all

00:29:50.620 --> 00:29:50.860
 of our

00:29:50.860 --> 00:29:51.100
 chips

00:29:51.100 --> 00:29:51.540
 into the

00:29:51.540 --> 00:29:51.759
 middle

00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:52.180
 of the

00:29:52.180 --> 00:29:52.500
 table

00:29:52.500 --> 00:29:52.860
 and bet

00:29:52.860 --> 00:29:53.080
 on

00:29:53.080 --> 00:29:53.360
 God

00:29:53.360 --> 00:29:53.640
 and I

00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:53.800
 would

00:29:53.800 --> 00:29:54.100
 ask

00:29:54.100 --> 00:29:54.259
 the

00:29:54.259 --> 00:29:54.620
 question

00:29:54.620 --> 00:29:55.100
 to

00:29:55.100 --> 00:29:55.460
 myself

00:29:55.460 --> 00:29:55.660
 as

00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:55.880
 well

00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:57.800
 how

00:29:57.800 --> 00:29:58.000
 has

00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.100
 it

00:29:58.100 --> 00:29:58.300
 worked

00:29:58.300 --> 00:29:58.480
 out

00:29:58.480 --> 00:29:58.640
 when

00:29:58.640 --> 00:29:58.759
 I

00:29:58.759 --> 00:29:59.019
 bet

00:29:59.019 --> 00:29:59.140
 on

00:29:59.140 --> 00:29:59.580
 myself

00:29:59.580 --> 00:30:01.480
 or

00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:01.600
 you

00:30:01.600 --> 00:30:01.800
 bet

00:30:01.800 --> 00:30:01.960
 on

00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:02.100
 your

00:30:02.100 --> 00:30:02.540

00:30:06.860 --> 00:30:07.440
 or

 whatever

 else

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:08.720
 is

 this

00:30:11.180 --> 00:30:11.400
 life

00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:11.599
 under

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:11.819
 the

00:30:11.819 --> 00:30:12.059
 sun

00:30:12.059 --> 00:30:12.680
 okay

00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:13.160
 if

00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:13.279
 you

00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:13.779
 truly

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:14.500
 bet

 earthly

00:30:17.420 --> 00:30:17.940
 speaking

 suggest

 to

00:30:39.619 --> 00:30:39.739
 you

00:30:39.739 --> 00:30:39.939
 that

00:30:39.939 --> 00:30:40.079
 you

00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:40.539
 probably

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:41.919
 have

00:30:41.919 --> 00:30:42.259
 not

00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:48.259
 this

00:30:48.259 --> 00:30:48.379
 is

00:30:48.379 --> 00:30:48.539
 why

00:30:48.539 --> 00:30:49.219
 Ecclesiastes

00:30:49.219 --> 00:30:49.659
 is such

00:30:49.659 --> 00:30:49.779
 an

00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:50.719
 for us

00:30:50.719 --> 00:30:51.319

 for

 generation

00:30:52.379 --> 00:30:52.599
 read

00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:53.439
 because

00:30:53.439 --> 00:30:53.599
 what

00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:53.719
 it

00:30:53.719 --> 00:30:53.979
 does

00:30:53.979 --> 00:30:54.159
 is

00:30:54.159 --> 00:30:54.299
 it

00:30:54.299 --> 00:30:54.979
 exposes

00:30:54.979 --> 00:30:55.219
 the

00:30:55.219 --> 00:30:55.759
 conundrum

00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:56.000
 of

00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:56.779
 conundrums

 that

00:30:57.479 --> 00:30:57.879
 is

 our

 eternal

00:30:58.979 --> 00:30:59.619
 longings

00:30:59.619 --> 00:30:59.979
 and our

00:30:59.979 --> 00:31:00.579
 inability

00:31:00.579 --> 00:31:01.000
 to get

00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:01.319
 there

00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:03.219
 our

00:31:03.219 --> 00:31:03.719
 task

00:31:03.719 --> 00:31:04.279
 which

00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:04.579
 lies

00:31:04.579 --> 00:31:04.959
 before

00:31:04.959 --> 00:31:05.399
 us

00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:06.780
 that

00:31:06.780 --> 00:31:06.940
 is

00:31:06.940 --> 00:31:07.440
 impossible

00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:07.780
 to

00:31:07.780 --> 00:31:08.140
 fulfill

00:31:08.140 --> 00:31:11.320
 the

00:31:11.320 --> 00:31:12.040
 perennial

00:31:12.040 --> 00:31:12.640
 frustration

00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:12.900
 of

00:31:12.900 --> 00:31:13.360
 mankind

00:31:13.360 --> 00:31:15.060
 and I

00:31:15.060 --> 00:31:15.180
 would

00:31:15.180 --> 00:31:15.420
 say

00:31:15.420 --> 00:31:16.080
 also

00:31:16.080 --> 00:31:16.940
 why

00:31:16.940 --> 00:31:17.840
 Ecclesiastes

00:31:17.840 --> 00:31:18.320
 is such

00:31:18.320 --> 00:31:18.440
 an

00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:18.740
 important

00:31:18.740 --> 00:31:19.060
 book

00:31:19.060 --> 00:31:20.080
 is because

00:31:20.080 --> 00:31:20.300
 it

00:31:20.300 --> 00:31:20.840
 ultimately

00:31:20.840 --> 00:31:21.940
 shows

00:31:21.940 --> 00:31:22.420
 us

00:31:22.420 --> 00:31:23.600
 the

00:31:23.600 --> 00:31:24.000
 mercy

00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:24.460
 and

00:31:24.460 --> 00:31:24.820
 goodness

00:31:24.820 --> 00:31:25.160
 and

00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:25.860
 graciousness

00:31:25.860 --> 00:31:26.240
 of a

00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:26.440
 loving

00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:26.740
 God

00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:27.240
 it

00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:27.660
 prepares

00:31:27.660 --> 00:31:28.259
 us

00:31:28.259 --> 00:31:29.620
 for

00:31:29.620 --> 00:31:30.519
 Christ

00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:30.940
 himself

00:31:30.940 --> 00:31:31.480
 to come

00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:31.900
 in the

00:31:31.900 --> 00:31:32.240
 flesh

00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:33.599
 and save

00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:34.079
 us

00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:35.019
 from

00:31:35.019 --> 00:31:35.559
 life

00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:35.859
 under

00:31:35.859 --> 00:31:36.059
 the

00:31:36.059 --> 00:31:36.299
 sun

00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:36.819
 from

00:31:36.819 --> 00:31:37.099
 our

00:31:37.099 --> 00:31:38.940
 futility

00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:43.420
 when we

00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:44.059
 cry out

00:31:44.059 --> 00:31:44.680
 to God

00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:45.259
 for mercy

00:31:45.259 --> 00:31:46.900
 what does

00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:47.240
 he do

00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:47.859
 he says

00:31:47.859 --> 00:31:48.160
 with a

00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:48.599
 resounding

00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:49.960
 response

00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:50.359
 yes

00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:50.819
 I will

00:31:50.819 --> 00:31:51.079
 come

00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:53.140
 so

00:31:53.140 --> 00:31:53.819
 to fear

00:31:53.819 --> 00:31:53.980
 the

00:31:53.980 --> 00:31:54.259
 Lord

00:31:54.259 --> 00:31:55.640
 it's

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:55.779
 a

00:31:55.779 --> 00:31:56.240
 trust

00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:57.519
 in

00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:58.019
 God

00:31:58.019 --> 00:31:58.359
 to

00:31:58.359 --> 00:31:58.700
 remedy

00:31:58.700 --> 00:31:59.059
 the

00:31:59.059 --> 00:31:59.599
 situation

00:31:59.599 --> 00:31:59.859
 that

00:31:59.859 --> 00:32:00.000
 you

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:00.299
 cannot

00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:01.880
 that

00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:02.060
 you

00:32:02.060 --> 00:32:02.280
 have

00:32:02.280 --> 00:32:02.460
 no

00:32:02.460 --> 00:32:02.740
 hope

00:32:02.740 --> 00:32:03.020
 in

00:32:03.020 --> 00:32:03.740
 remedying

00:32:03.740 --> 00:32:04.640
 to

00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:04.920
 trust

00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:05.080
 him

00:32:05.080 --> 00:32:05.240
 to

00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:05.680
 fulfill

00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:06.420
 your

00:32:06.420 --> 00:32:06.860
 eternal

00:32:06.860 --> 00:32:07.500
 desires

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:07.700
 that

00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:07.840
 you

00:32:07.840 --> 00:32:08.180
 cannot

00:32:08.180 --> 00:32:08.660
 fulfill

00:32:08.660 --> 00:32:10.580
 and

00:32:10.580 --> 00:32:10.740
 to

00:32:10.740 --> 00:32:10.920
 give

00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:11.060
 you

00:32:11.060 --> 00:32:11.500
 eternal

00:32:11.500 --> 00:32:11.960
 joy

00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:12.220
 that

00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:12.600
 you

00:32:12.600 --> 00:32:13.460
 cannot

00:32:13.460 --> 00:32:14.740
 grasp

00:32:14.740 --> 00:32:15.240
 as

00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:15.600
 hard

00:32:15.600 --> 00:32:15.800
 as

00:32:15.800 --> 00:32:15.900
 you

00:32:15.900 --> 00:32:16.020
 have

00:32:16.020 --> 00:32:16.380
 tried

00:32:16.380 --> 00:32:18.120
 and

00:32:18.120 --> 00:32:18.280
 this

00:32:18.280 --> 00:32:18.420
 is

00:32:18.420 --> 00:32:18.800
 exactly

00:32:18.800 --> 00:32:19.020
 what

00:32:19.020 --> 00:32:19.260
 Jesus

00:32:19.260 --> 00:32:19.560
 does

00:32:19.560 --> 00:32:19.740
 he

00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:20.600
 resolves

00:32:20.600 --> 00:32:20.800
 the

00:32:20.800 --> 00:32:21.480
 insolvable

00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:22.100
 conundrum

00:32:22.100 --> 00:32:22.260
 of

00:32:22.260 --> 00:32:23.240
 Ecclesiastes

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:24.680
 so

00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:25.360
 that

00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:26.080
 Ecclesiastes

00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:26.480
 really

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:26.860
 does

00:32:26.860 --> 00:32:27.220
 if we

00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:27.700
 read it

00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:27.920
 with

00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:28.800
 humble

00:32:28.800 --> 00:32:29.500
 eyes

00:32:29.500 --> 00:32:29.680
 and

00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:30.500
 prayerful

00:32:30.500 --> 00:32:30.880
 hearts

00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:31.740
 we

00:32:31.740 --> 00:32:32.180
 will

00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:32.840
 long

00:32:32.840 --> 00:32:33.120
 for

00:32:33.120 --> 00:32:33.620
 Christ

00:32:33.620 --> 00:32:33.880
 to

00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:34.120
 save
