Ecclesiastes 7:15-8:1 “Righteous & Wretched”
Sermon notes @
http://bible.com/e/1F54
Ecclesiastes 7:15-8:1
15 In
my vain life I have seen everything. There is a righteous
man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked
man who prolongs his life in his evildoing. 16 Be not overly
righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should
you destroy yourself? 17 Be not overly wicked, neither be a
fool. Why should you die before your time? 18 It is good that
you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your
hand, for the one who fears God shall come out from both of
them.
19 Wisdom
gives strength to the wise man more than ten
rulers who are in a city.
20 Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does
good and never sins.
21 Do not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you
hear your servant cursing you. 22 Your heart knows
that many times you yourself have cursed others. 23 All this I
have tested by wisdom. I said, “I will be wise,” but it was far
from me. 24 That which has been is far off, and deep, very
deep; who can find it out?
25 I
turned my heart to know and to search out and to seek
wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know the
wickedness of folly and the foolishness that is
madness. 26 And I find something more bitter than death: the
woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are
fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is
taken by her. 27 Behold, this is what I found, says the
Preacher, while adding one thing to another to find the
scheme of things— 28 which my soul has sought repeatedly,
but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found,
but a woman among all these I have not found.
29 See,
this alone I found, that God made man upright,
but they have sought out many schemes.
8 Who is like the wise?
And who knows the interpretation of a thing?
A man's wisdom makes his face shine,
and the hardness of his face is changed.
Ecclesiastes 7:15-18

Gospel Application:
1) Are we seeking after moral behavior and religion or
Christ’s righteousness?
2) Do we take ourselves too seriously or God?
3) How will the Gospel shape our desires, patterns, manhood
and womanhood in this city?
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.
