Ecclesiastes 5:1-7
INTRODUCTION: Solomon has been using his great wisdom to basically look at two perspectives of life - Under the Sun, and Under Heaven. Now today he is going to give us a peak at his ultimate conclusion. His Ultimate conclusion is found in the last two verses.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (ESV) 13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.
In today's text - Eccl. 5:1-7 we see the first time Solomon gives us a hint of his ultimate point, his big idea...
7b. But God is the one you must fear.
What will Solomon use to arrest our attention and bring us to a sober, fearful view of God? What will he point out to indict us for our lack of fear? Of all things - Solomon and Christ through Solomon wants to talk to us about, "How we come to worship".
Alistair Begg said, "When we approach the assembly of God's people we should do so with a vivid awareness of the qualitative difference between God and us".
Do you come here as if you are entering into a Holy Experience. It's not a Holy Place, But it is a Holy Gathering. Without the people, there is no uniqueness here.
