He calls himself the king of 171 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:06,280 Jerusalem. Now while a lot of kings are all 172 00:15:06,290 --> 00:15:09,710 the kings of Jerusalem were considered sons or descendants 173 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,170 of David. It could only be Solomon or it 174 00:15:13,180 --> 00:15:16,590 could only be King Solomon who wrote this book, this book of 175 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,750 Ecclesiastes when Pomembna scholars then exercising 176 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,070 Maryhill by possibility in a Hindi seeking Solomon an 177 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,770 excellent NATO for some compelling reasons pero Hindi na 178 00:15:28,780 --> 00:15:32,190 punat and mapagusapan Machado young aspect Nayon young 179 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,990 different views about it.

But I have chosen to remain with 184 00:15:49,420 --> 00:15:53,570 the traditional view of understanding and claim that 185 00:15:53,580 --> 00:15:57,350 this is King Solomon who wrote it because it is more 186 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,210 consistent, it is more defensible, and it is more 187 00:16:01,220 --> 00:16:06,730 suitable for faithful exposition for us to acknowledge that it is 188 00:16:06,740 --> 00:16:11,700 King Solomon who wrote this when back at King Solomon and 189 00:16:12,660 --> 00:16:22,510 normally writings in Hindi. So sad piece of verse 16, I said 190 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,710 in my heart I have acquired great wisdom surpassing all who 191 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,990 were over Jerusalem before me, and my heart has had great 192 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,770 experience of wisdom and knowledge. 193 00:16:36,820 --> 00:16:40,670 That's what we have read in verse 16 and we know that it is 194 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,240 King Solomon who fits perfectly on that aspect. 195 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:51,130 No other king was wiser than he. Even in First Kings chapter 4 it 196 00:16:51,140 --> 00:16:56,170 says that God gave Solomon wisdom, great understanding and 197 00:16:56,180 --> 00:17:01,430 knowledge as vast as the sand on the seashore. 198 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,960 In pain Makita natin detonate Indian dog. 199 00:17:06,970 --> 00:17:10,720 Now I think dusky Solomon, and that's why it can only be 200 00:17:10,730 --> 00:17:15,700 Solomon who wrote this book Accounting. 201 00:17:15,710 --> 00:17:19,970 And then you have yeah, man, the Miranshah. 202 00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:24,390 We could say that it did indeed gave him the time and the 203 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:29,290 capacity to investigate a lot of things in this life. 204 00:17:29,380 --> 00:17:33,710 In verse 13, it says that he gave his heart to investigate 205 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,970 with that wisdom all the things that were done under heaven, 206 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,550 when in verse 14 it says that he had seen all the works that are 207 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,380 done under the sand sun.

It didn't end in a happy ending. 615 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,730 And these things. Can happen in this life, not 616 00:52:23,740 --> 00:52:25,730 just in the novel but in reality. 617 00:52:26,610 --> 00:52:31,500 Challenges, frustrations, conflicts acting up. 618 00:52:31,510 --> 00:52:37,360 Amelia, my investment in India network, my unreasonable boss at 619 00:52:37,370 --> 00:52:41,040 Magtrabaho.

It happens differently. 622 00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:54,180 To different people and there's no such thing as an ideal life. 623 00:52:54,910 --> 00:53:01,160 And we ask why Packet NABA? Why does God give? 624 00:53:01,170 --> 00:53:05,830 This to man to be occupied with Bharatiya Banat baghat Hindi 625 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:11,650 natin kayang baguhin Yum mandona ginagalaw 19 pending pigilan 626 00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:14,720 ohh.

So because of sin, that's why we 631 00:53:37,870 --> 00:53:41,740 have thorns and thistles, we have great pains and 632 00:53:41,750 --> 00:53:45,380 relationship problems. And again, why? 633 00:53:45,610 --> 00:53:49,690 We could always ask why? Why did God allow these things 634 00:53:49,700 --> 00:53:52,380 to happen? And I hope and feel that you get 635 00:53:52,390 --> 00:53:56,980 frustrated because this would solve the issue in this life. 636 00:53:57,350 --> 00:54:01,850 I hope that we realise how frustrating life is so that we 637 00:54:01,860 --> 00:54:06,800 would be able to understand why it is frustrating. 638 00:54:08,010 --> 00:54:12,770 And that the answer is. This it is frustrating so that 639 00:54:12,860 --> 00:54:18,050 we will turn to God. It is hard. 640 00:54:18,730 --> 00:54:24,800 Because it is meant so that we would turn to Christ. 641 00:54:26,550 --> 00:54:30,500 Life under the sun will. Always be frustrating, and only 642 00:54:30,510 --> 00:54:35,540 by the Gospel we can endure it. Let us not focus. 643 00:54:35,550 --> 00:54:40,360 On the the ideal perception of life, but rather understand the 644 00:54:40,370 --> 00:54:44,280 reality of life and the lens of the gospel of God. 645 00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:46,800 God. What God? 646 00:54:46,810 --> 00:54:52,290 Has been no man can straighten. I think the acting just no 647 00:54:52,870 --> 00:55:01,800 problem as Abu Hai Neto, but only time in Salita nang buhay 648 00:55:01,810 --> 00:55:06,300 na meron tayo nyan on this side of eternity will always have 649 00:55:06,310 --> 00:55:09,770 problems. Even Christ himself said I came 650 00:55:09,780 --> 00:55:14,740 to bring a sword and not peace. He said follow me and suffer the 651 00:55:14,750 --> 00:55:18,500 pain of the cross. Indiana think I and Tasman and 652 00:55:18,510 --> 00:55:23,000 Gallon and Buena meron tayo acknowledged that when we must 653 00:55:23,010 --> 00:55:26,520 acknowledge it and we learn to live contentedly with the 654 00:55:26,530 --> 00:55:29,940 messiness of this life. Why and how? 655 00:55:30,270 --> 00:55:34,940 By going to Christ, By following him and nothing else and no one 656 00:55:34,950 --> 00:55:37,880 else. Solomon already asked. 657 00:55:37,930 --> 00:55:40,700 What do you get from all the labour under the sun? 658 00:55:40,710 --> 00:55:46,660 And he answered nothing. Well, I know someone don't want 659 00:55:46,670 --> 00:55:51,880 to, you know, Lamang. So what did Jesus says? 660 00:55:51,950 --> 00:55:57,580 He said come after me. He said that whoever it is that 661 00:55:57,690 --> 00:56:01,510 desires to come after me, he must deny himself. 662 00:56:03,220 --> 00:56:07,190 He must take up. His cross and follow him and it 663 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,990 makes sense if he would understand his life. 664 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,910 It makes sense why. Self denial is important in 665 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:19,090 following Him because there's nothing that we could gain in 666 00:56:19,100 --> 00:56:24,300 this world apart from Christ. Christ said Come unto me, all ye 667 00:56:24,310 --> 00:56:28,500 that labour and our and our heaven laden, and I will give 668 00:56:28,510 --> 00:56:33,650 you rest. It all points out to Christ, it 669 00:56:33,660 --> 00:56:39,650 all points us to Him. It leads us all to Christ. 670 00:56:43,060 --> 00:56:46,800 Select and frustrations. Number appetite, We deserve it. 671 00:56:48,300 --> 00:56:52,410 Because of our sin. Selection problem in America and 672 00:56:52,420 --> 00:56:54,350 we deserve it because of our sin. 673 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,940 And actually we don't just deserve this frustrations, we 674 00:56:57,950 --> 00:57:00,520 deserve worse than this because of our sin. 675 00:57:01,630 --> 00:57:06,190 Yet Christ suffered in this world. 676 00:57:07,260 --> 00:57:11,910 Experiences, experience the challenges and frustrations and 677 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,960 the hardships of this world, even if he doesn't deserve 678 00:57:17,030 --> 00:57:22,490 anyone of anything of it. That's why baby continue to. 679 00:57:22,500 --> 00:57:26,750 Remind ourselves, in the midst of all these things, of the 680 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:31,630 gospel of God, the only hope that we could have in this 681 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:35,550 world. We always be reminded. 682 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,440 That being Christian does not rescue you from the life of 683 00:57:38,450 --> 00:57:44,620 frustration, but it teaches us how to carry our cross. 684 00:57:44,930 --> 00:57:49,200 It teaches us self denial. And that's the important point 685 00:57:49,390 --> 00:57:52,740 of this message. That is why it is necessary to 686 00:57:52,750 --> 00:57:57,320 go through life's challenges. We receive his hand from him, 687 00:57:57,370 --> 00:58:00,980 things that are good and he still allows things that are bad 688 00:58:00,990 --> 00:58:03,920 in our lives. And the reason why we can do 689 00:58:03,930 --> 00:58:08,050 that is because we are yearning for a better life, taught here 690 00:58:08,260 --> 00:58:11,450 but in heaven. Can I put as we? 691 00:58:11,460 --> 00:58:14,440 End. I want you to think of. 692 00:58:14,450 --> 00:58:18,520 This this way romance ate tells us that whatever we are 693 00:58:18,530 --> 00:58:22,760 suffering right now. It is nothing. 694 00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:28,170 May you take it as that Iglesias this one? 695 00:58:28,180 --> 00:58:31,270 Is saying everything in this life is nothing. 696 00:58:31,540 --> 00:58:36,150 It is vanity now in Romans 1, specifically sinasabi na din 697 00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:41,140 dito, that everything that we are suffering right now is 698 00:58:41,150 --> 00:58:49,190 nothing compared to the glory that we have in heaven. 699 00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,640 That's the answer. And my friend Cindy Lam. 700 00:58:55,650 --> 00:58:59,580 Putao, but all creation is waiting for that day. 701 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:04,930 Everything was cursed, subject to vanity and frustration. 702 00:59:05,100 --> 00:59:09,470 But one day it will not be anymore. 703 00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:13,850 So until that day, as what we have prayed earlier, my we've 704 00:59:13,860 --> 00:59:17,060 continued to find faith and to have faith in Him. 705 00:59:19,990 --> 00:59:23,360 Campfires are. Encouragement May we, may I read 706 00:59:23,370 --> 00:59:26,900 to you Romans 8, and may you could read it with me, Romans 707 00:59:26,910 --> 00:59:34,180 818 to 25. Romans 818 to. 25 Four. 708 00:59:34,190 --> 00:59:39,880 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not 709 00:59:39,890 --> 00:59:44,740 worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 710 00:59:45,010 --> 00:59:48,300 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing 711 00:59:48,310 --> 00:59:52,050 of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected 712 00:59:52,060 --> 00:59:57,260 to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected 713 00:59:57,270 --> 01:00:02,240 them and hoped that the creation itself will be set free from its 714 01:00:02,250 --> 01:00:05,220 bondage. Corruption and obtain the 715 01:00:05,230 --> 01:00:08,340 freedom of the glory of the children of God. 716 01:00:08,670 --> 01:00:11,760 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning 717 01:00:11,770 --> 01:00:14,580 together in the pains of childbirth. 718 01:00:14,590 --> 01:00:19,610 And then, now, and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who 719 01:00:19,620 --> 01:00:23,870 have the first fruits of the Spirit, grown inwardly as we 720 01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:28,910 wait eagerly for the adoptions as sons, the redemptions of our 721 01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:32,500 bodies. For in this hope we are saved. 722 01:00:32,820 --> 01:00:35,050 Now hope that is sin is not hope. 723 01:00:35,060 --> 01:00:40,090 For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do 724 01:00:40,100 --> 01:00:44,430 not see, we wait for it with patience. 725 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:49,590 And that's Paul's message to the church from that's also the 726 01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:53,760 message of the Ecclesiastes. That's the message of the 727 01:00:53,770 --> 01:00:58,030 preacher about this life.
