And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

The book of Ecclesiastes explores the futility of human pursuits and the ultimate vanity of life under the sun. The author, often identified as King Solomon, laments the cyclical nature of existence, where nothing truly new occurs. He delves into various aspects of life, including wisdom, pleasure, work, and wealth, ultimately finding them all empty and unsatisfying.

Through his reflections, the author concludes that true meaning and purpose are found only in fearing God and keeping His commandments. He emphasizes the importance of enjoying life’s simple pleasures, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of existence, and trusting in God’s sovereignty.

Ecclesiastes offers a sobering perspective on the human condition, reminding us of our mortality and the limitations of earthly pursuits. It encourages readers to seek lasting fulfillment in a relationship with God, recognizing that true meaning and joy are found beyond the fleeting pleasures of this world.
