As you may have heard, since 1999, the rate of death by suicide has risen by 30%...30%! That’s tragic! Blame and suggestions are being handed out by all the experts. The blame has included bad parenting, bullying, loneliness, lack of identity, among other things. Suggestions have included counseling, more freedom of expression, finding identity in one’s work, among other things. Listening to the world’s wisdom will get people nowhere- in fact, that effort is futile.
The preacher in Ecclesiastes has tried it all. He had all the means at his disposal to bring meaning and satisfaction to life - and yet he tries all this apart from the Lord. And the conclusion of it all- all is vanity.
Apart from the Lord, one might agree, life stinks and then you die. But God’s Word has the answer. Jesus satisfies. He has dealt with that one thing that plagues the human race- sin. And he’s the only One that has dealt with it.
