Ecclesiastes 7:1-14 “For Better or Worse”
Sermon notes @
http://bible.com/e/1F53
Ecclesiastes 7:1-14
A good name is better than precious ointment,
and the day of death than the day of birth.
2 It is better to go to the house of mourning
than to go to the house of feasting,
for this is the end of all mankind,
and the living will lay it to heart.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter,
for by sadness of face the heart is made glad.
4 The
heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
5 It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise
than to hear the song of fools.
6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot,
so is the laughter of the fools;
this also is vanity.
7 Surely
oppression drives the wise into madness,
and a bribe corrupts the heart.
8 Better is the end of a thing than its beginning,
and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in
spirit.
9 Be not quick in your spirit to become angry,
for anger lodges in the heart of fools.
10 Say
not, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance,
an advantage to those who see the sun.
12 For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of
money,
and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom
preserves the life of him who has it.
13 Consider
the work of God:
who can make straight what he has made crooked?
14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of
adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the
other,so that man may not find out anything that will be
after him.
Ecclesiastes 7:1-3
A good name is better than precious ointment,
and the day of death than the day of birth.
2 It is better to go to the house of mourning
than to go to the house of feasting,
for this is the end of all mankind,
and the living will lay it to heart.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter,
for by sadness of face the heart is made glad.
Ecclesiastes 7:4-6
4 The
heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
5 It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise
than to hear the song of fools.
6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot,
so is the laughter of the fools;
this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 7:7-9
7 Surely
oppression drives the wise into madness,
and a bribe corrupts the heart.
8 Better is the end of a thing than its beginning,
and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in
spirit.
9 Be not quick in your spirit to become angry,
for anger lodges in the heart of fools.
Ecclesiastes 7:10-12
10 Say
not, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance,
an advantage to those who see the sun.
12 For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of
money,
and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom
preserves the life of him who has it.
Ecclesiastes 7:13-14
13 Consider
the work of God:
who can make straight what he has made crooked?
14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of
adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the
other, so that man may not find out anything that will be
after him.
Gospel Application:
1)Are we living for Jesus or continuing to look back at Good
old days?
2)Do we take one day at a time for better or worse?
3) How will the Gospel cause us to live wisely with out time,
talent, treasure knowing that tomorrow is not promised?
Do this in
remembrance
of me…
2 Corinthians 9:7
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not
reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful
giver.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you,
that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed
took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it,
and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in
remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the
cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant
in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in
remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread
and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he
comes.
