Remembering Light and Darkness
Series Bible Studies in Ecclesiastes
These two verses bring an end to the section that we have just studied in Chapter 11; of doing your good works while you can, while you have life. They also provide a connecting link to the last section of the book, the conclusion, in which all that has gone before will be summed up and applied. The truth that Solomon is emphasizing is, that life is fleeting and vain if you do not live it for God. It is easy to forget this truth. Solomon had to learn it the hard way, as I suspect many of us will have to do. So this evening I would like us, first, to remember the sweetness and the pleasantness of light. And then 2ndly, to remember the days of darkness, which will be many. And then to conclude we would like to think about Solomon's concluding statement which is that all is vanity.
