The Main Event (Ecclesiastes 9:1-9)

The Lord, through the preacher in Ecclesiastes 9 and his continual survey of the vanity of life apart from God, calls us to live life with the knowledge that the same event happens to all people: we go to the dead. That could be depressing. And yet, those that know Christ live with this in view but also in the reality that while we await the “same” event, we live in light of the “main” event: Jesus died for sinners and rose for our justification. We need not fear calling sin, sin. For we have an advocate, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
