Unless Jesus returns first, we are all going to die one day. We don’t like to think about it very often, but the Scripture encourages us to consider how the reality of our death affects how we live. Are we investing our lives in what will last for eternity, or are we squandering our lives on temporary pleasures? Solomon, the wise writer of Ecclesiastes, reminds us that nothing on earth can satisfy our need for lasting significance; only God can.
