Dear Me: The Window Frame of Ecclesiastes

About this episode

This episode discusses the tension of life as Jesus followers, reflecting on hope and God's promises in light of Ecclesiastes.

As Jesus followers, we get the added benefit of seeing what God has done for us in Christ! Solomon was looking ahead at what God would do. We get the privilege of looking back at what God has done in Christ. We also get the privilege of living every day with the power of the Holy Spirit. But even as Jesus followers, we still look at life and say that it ought not be this way. We live in the tension of life under the sun as we await our Lord's return and the day He makes all the sad things untrue. Until then, we don't ignore the pain and brokenness of this life, but we always maintain hope. Hope isn't wishful thinking. Hope is confident assurance that God will fulfill His promises because of what He's already done in Christ.
