Ecclesiastes 7:2-4 Death! Are you ready?

Ecclesiastes 7:2-4 Death! Think about it!

Jun 7th, 2011 by buford

Good morning. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Ecclesiastes 7:2 "Better to go to the house of mouring than to go to the house of feasting, for that is the end of all men; and the living will take it to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for by a sand countenance the heart is made better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning. But the heart of fools is in the house of mirth."

Many people avoid thinking about death, refuse to face it, and are reluctant to attend funerals. Solomon is not encouraging us to think morbidly, but he knows that is is helpful to think clearly about death. It reminds us that we still have time to change, time to examine the direction of our lives, and time to confess our sins and find forgiveness from God. Because everyone will eventually die, it makes sense to plan ahead to experience God's mercy rather than HIS justice.

Have you thought about death? Does it scare you? Why? There is only one way to life everlasting - Jesus Christ. If you have not accepted Jesus there is no better time than the present. If you don't share the gospel with others, then, in my opinion, that is the same as allowing or telling them to go to hell. Tell others, death is not the end, but the open door to life eternal. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
