“Whatcha Gonna Do When They Come For You

Ecclesiastes 1-5

“Why?” is the greatest question of all time.  Have you ever truly sat down and asked yourself that question and answered it?  Why do you exist? Just think, in two to three generations your closest relatives won’t even know your name.  That is why Ecclesiastes is so meaningful because someone did ask himself that question and in so doing asked each of us to consider it as well. 

America has created industries to distract us from the question.  Entertainment, social work, art, philanthropy and others are used by Americans to keep from considering the question “why”.  Why?  Because there is one other question more critical than why;

What are you going to do with this man, this man called The Christ?  The answer to that allows you to answer all the others.

This piece always reminds me of humans alone
with themselves wondering Why.
