Ecclesiastes 2.11 When I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind, nothing was gained under the sun. Worldly men imagine that there is true excellence and true happiness in those worldly things that they so arduously pursue. They imagine that if they could but obtain them, they would be happy. but when they procure them and cannot find happiness in them, then they change their course and look for happiness in some other earthly vanity. Hence they spend their life tenacious upon the mad pursuit.

Meaningless. Meaningless, says the teacher. Everything is meaningless.

Ecclesiastes 12.8 but Christ Jesus has true excellence, and so great excellence that when they come to know Him they look no further, but the mind rests there. Yes, He is altogether lovely. This is my Beloved, and this is my Friend.

Song of Solomon 5.16 A saving knowledge of Christ is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied, To go to heaven fully to enjoy Him is the fullness of bliss. He who has Christ has all that he needs and needs no more.

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one priceless pearl, he went and sold everything he had and bought it.

Matthew chapter 13, verses 44 and 46.
