Facing the Fog: The End (Ecclesiastes 12: 1-14)

About this episode

The episode reflects on Ecclesiastes 12, emphasizing the importance of remembering the Creator and facing death with honesty.

Ecclesiastes 12 brings Qoheleth’s hard wisdom to its final conclusion: remember your Creator before the days grow dark and your strength fail. In this Holy Week message, we reflect on what is means to face death honestly, to remember our finitude and accountability before God, and to recognize that only the Creator can make something truly new. The questions of this book point us to God’s answer in Jesus Christ, woh brings the first truly new thing under the sun: a love that is truly stronger then death.
