We are continuing our series through the book of Ecclesiastes. It’s a timeless and timely book. In it, the Preacher-King recounts a lifelong search for meaning, purpose, and satisfaction “under the sun.” To do so, he exhausts every nook and cranny of the created order and human potential. Yet, again and again, he discovers “all is vanity.” Today, in Ecclesiastes 8, the Preacher unpacks a central theme of the book, living in the fear of God as an antidote to vanity.

On Good Friday we gathered to remember Jesus’ substitutionary death on the cross. Today, on Easter, we gather to rejoice in Jesus’ climactic victory over the grave (and all that points to) through his resurrection. To that end, we will sing, celebrate baptisms, and open up Zechariah 3 where we have a vision of filthy clothes and prophetic promises that offer hope the world cannot give us, nor take away. He is risen!
