Anthem Podcast: Chasing the Wind // Ecclesiastes 9:1-18

This week’s installment of Ecclesiastes focuses on the certainty of death and the uncertainty of life. In Ecclesiastes 9, Solomon used the term “under the sun” six times, more than any other chapter in this highly encouraging book. Since Solomon had ruled out any hope of the afterlife, all that remained for him was a fearful expectation of death. While King Solomon correctly identified that all people (whether good or bad) face death, he incorrectly concluded that physical death is the end of our existence. Praise God that through faith in Jesus we no longer have to live in fear of our physical death! “Whoever believes in me, though he dies, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26)
