Making Sense Of Life
Larry Wynn
Ecclesiastes
Introduction
A. Mark twain illustration. (been there. Done that. Now what?, ed young, pg.53-54) Mark twain once asked a baggage handler on a Commuter train if the man thought his briefcase was Strong enough to be checked and placed in the Baggage compartment. The baggage handler Shrugged, took twain's case, and promptly hurled it To the pavement. ''That, sir,'' he said, '' is what she'll Get in philadelphia.'' then he picked it up and struck It five or sic times against the side of the train car.'' And that,'' he continued, ''is what she'll get in Chicago.'' finally, he threw the case to the ground Again and stomped on it vigorously until the author's Books and papers spilled out, saying, ''that's what She'll get in sioux city.'' as twain watched slack- Jawed, the man nodded at his now mangled case and Advised, ''if you're going any farther than sioux city, Sir, i'd suggest you carry it on yourself.'' in a sense, Twain was lucky. He saw before he boarded the train What the journey ahead would entail. The best most Of us can do is observe the journey of life from the Windows of our moving ''train'' and attempt--while The scenery whizzes by--to make some half-ordered Sense of it all.
B. ''The best most of us can do is to Observe life as it passes by.''
C. It is most difficult to make sense of Life.
D. In ecclesiastes 3 solomon turns to Philosophy for the answer. Once Again he looks under the sun.
E. Like solomon we struggle to develop A philosophy that will order and Explain the mysteries of life Especially the challenges and Heartaches.
F. Like solomon we learn that from an Earthly viewpoint, at times, it just Doesn't make sense.
I. There are observations. V.s. 1-8.
A. The 1st 10 verses of chapter three are The most popular verses in the book And some of the most popular in the Bible.
1. They have been the subject of Poetry, songs, and quotes.
