Title: "There Is a Time"
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-14
Author: Jerry N Watts
How many of us remember the "ONCE UPON A TIME" stories? These are stories that are largely fictional (although there are some exceptions) whose goal is to entertain, educate, and sometimes inspire. They always begin with "Once Upon a Time." Generally, the good guy wins, he gets the girl (throughout history, when a man wins a woman, she is a prize and becomes prized) and they live happily ever after.
WE have 3 groups today (graduates, students, others) Let me offer a 'once upon a time' story that is non-fiction and in a way you haven't heard. Once upon a time, God in heaven created everything. What we know He created is light, sun, moon, stars, firmament, man, and more, but we can never list all that He created because our finite minds cannot conceive all that God made. In His creating process, He established the 7-day week and the 24-hour day as from the very beginning HE SEPARATED THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS (that would be day and night) and TIME was born.
Once upon a time God created man and breathed into Him the breath of life and man became a living soul, breathing the very breath of God and lived in a beautiful garden God walked, talked, and fellowshipped with man in a personal way. But then man disobeyed God and became a sinful creation, which mankind remains today. There is one more, "Once upon a time," but it will come at the end. Turn to Ecclesiastes 3.
We will read the words of Solomon. There is a lesson in Solomon (Ed Young calls Him "Solo-man" because he started out with God but walked away. God had poured out His blessing in abundance on Solomon. But he became a SOLO-man because he walked away from God trying to live out his life on his own.) As a point of reference, the first two Chapters of Ecclesiastes is a sad testimony of a RICH KING who found out that all this life has to offer comes up FUTILE and EMPTY. In Chapter 3, we find common sense words that, if ...
