Look Beyond the Sun
Ecclesiastes is a book of reflections from an old man looking back on his youth with regret. His regret was that he had squandered much of his youth, living a life ‘under the sun’ and largely ignoring His God. The introduction and conclusion of the book serve as a summation of his reflections, with the introduction elaborating on the futility of a life lived ‘under the sun’, while the conclusion summarizes the advice of the Preacher: fear God and obey Him.
