The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Ecclesiastes 3:10-14, “I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves.
11 He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.
12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime;
13 moreover, that every man who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor– it is the gift of God.
14 I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him.”

If you’ve ever picked up a book that tells you everything, it is the Bible. And if you’ve ever selected a book within the Bible that covers all the mysteries of life, it is Ecclesiastes.

Solomon is drawing near to the end of his life and is reviewing the mysteries that have always puzzled him. He has sought satisfaction in science, in philosophy, in the pleasures of drinking, building, enormous possessions, wealth, and music –all
without satisfaction.

Neither has materialism, fatalism, deism, religion, wealth –even morality—none of which he surveyed brought him satisfaction.

Thus, Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived outside of Jesus Christ, concludes:

“…when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. 14For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).

Are you ready to meet Him? You can be! Jesus Christ died on the Cross and shed His blood to cover our sins. Christ’s blood satisfied His Father. It covers your sins—if you will accept it. Pray a simple prayer, asking Him to forgive you of your sins. He then sends the Holy Spirit into your life, confirming your salvation. You will then know what Solomon learned: forgiveness comes from Christ alone.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
