well we're coming for the final
time of this series to the book of Ecclesiastes to the passage
that we read earlier and the title is taken from verse thirteen
the next to the last verse of the whole book here the conclusion
of the whole matter the conclusion of the whole matter what is the
conclusion of the whole matter well let me remind you of the
other three messages the first three messages that we've had
First of all, in the first two chapters, we saw Solomon's life
experiment. The experiment that he conducted
with this life. And what he was seeking to do
was to see, what do you have to do to achieve fulfillment? What do you have to do to achieve
the feeling that, well, this has been a good life. I've really
got everything I need from it. This has been extremely good.
And what he tried was wisdom, in other words, education. Knowledge. Getting knowledge. Get as much
knowledge as you can of the things of this world. Go and get that. And see if that gives you satisfaction.
So he tried that. And then he tried pleasure. every
sort of pleasure whatever it was food and wine and women and
whatever it was he wanted possessions if he'd lived in these days he
would have had every gadget that had ever been invented pleasure
everything possible let's try that let's see if trying pleasure
and fulfilling because money was no object to him money was
no bar he could have anything that he wanted There was nothing
that he couldn't afford. He was overflowing with riches.
And so he said, let's see if that will make me feel ultimately
fulfilled at the end of my life. So I said, oh, I've had such
a good life. I've got all the knowledge I
can possibly acquire. I've got all the wisdom I can
possibly acquire because God made him wise. in the things
of this world. Pleasure. Let's get all the pleasure. Oh, I know, there's something
else. Work. Oh, you say work's not very good. Ah, creative work.
Creative work. Creativity. Let's do something. Let's make something. You know,
it's right, it's in us, isn't it? Little Isaac sitting here
loves playing with his Lego. He loves putting Lego together
to make things. It's in us. We want to make things.
Let's see if being ultimately creative fulfills. And the answer, the conclusion
of Solomon's experiment with wisdom and pleasure and creativity,
was that this life is vanity. It's futility. It's pointless. It's pointless. He, as God said
via Jeremiah, it's full of broken systems. I tried the broken cisterns,
Lord, but ah, the waters failed. And even as I stooped to drink,
they mocked me as I wailed. Cisterns? Broken cisterns. We
need water. And God says, this is what I've
got against you. You have forsaken me, the fountain
of living waters. That's what they've done. And
you've cut out of the rocks for yourself, trying to make yourself
things that will hold truly satisfying water. And you found the water
spailed, because every one of those cisterns you've hewn out
for yourself has proven to be broken and cracked, and it holds
no water. And then in the second message,
we saw those lovely words about there's a time for every purpose
under heaven, a time to be born, a time to die. And we saw, yes
that's true, but how futile is that cycle of time that God has
created if there's no Christ in that cycle of time. How futile
it is. How pointless. What is the purpose
of it? Why bother being born and growing
and doing all of those things if it is just that futile cycle
of time without Christ? But in Christ, with Christ, with
the knowledge of Christ, with the wisdom of Christ, how that
cycle of time, everything, he makes everything beautiful in
his way. Or, the beautiful one makes everything
perfect in his way. That was the second message.
The third message was remarkable last week. The way we saw that
union with Christ in this, in itself, empty, meaningless, futile
life, union with Christ makes all the imperfect aspects of
a believer's life, as the book put it, acceptable to God. Your works are acceptable. All that I am as a sinner, all
my righteousness is if I'm trying to get favor with God myself,
they're all filthy rags, they're worthless. It's just It's just
futile, worthless. Works will never, by the works
of the law, no flesh shall be justified in his sight. But in
Christ, by union with him, by virtue of what he is and what
he has done, every aspect of your life, there's the assurance,
is accepted by God. What a wonderful comfort. What
a magnificent comfort. So the message of the book, the
whole book of Ecclesiastes, is that life in itself is pointless
and futile. And that true, purposeful fulfillment
is only found in knowing God in Christ. That's it, that's
it, I could stop there, the conclusion of the whole matter, that's it.
Well I want to wrap up our considerations of this book in this message
today. And I've got three points. A warning to the young. The certainty
of judgment and the only wise admonition. The only wise admonition. First of all, a warning to the
young. Solomon was wise. He was given
great wisdom. Nevertheless, because of the
futility and the sinfulness of his flesh, for there is none
righteous, no, not one. Outside of Christ there is none
righteous, no, not one. and even why Solomon with all
of his wisdom backslid into all sorts of futile worldly ways
but he's still worth listening to you see he was a truly redeemed
person you who are young listen listen to this everything when
you're young seems full of promise look at verse nine of chapter
eleven rejoice oh young man and of course young woman as well. Rejoice, O young man, in thy
youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth,
and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine
eyes. Rejoice, O young man. Look at verses seven and eight.
Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the
eyes to behold the sun. Isn't it nice this time of year
when we've just been through the darkest couple of months
And we're now starting to see, oh, look, it's five o'clock and
it's still light. And then it'll be 5.30 and it'll
still be light. The light is good, the light
is sweet, a pleasant thing. But if a man lived many years
and rejoiced in them all, yet let him remember the days of
darkness. Oh, word of warning, word of
warning. You see, it seems as if there
is so much time available when you're young, there is so much
to be experienced, Make the best of it, is the philosophy. You know what people say, they
say, you only live once. And they say, you're dead an
awfully long time. Therefore grasp whatever you
can now and make the best of it. Don't forget Solomon's life
experiment. Don't forget what we've already
learned about that. I remember when I was young.
I remember when I was in my late teens and early twenties. I remember
thinking that there was so much time ahead of me. And of course
you get well into your sixties and some of us are older than
that and you look back and you wonder where did it go? Where
did it go? Think about it, young people,
think about it. All the older folks you see,
and you think they've been in that state of wrinkled degeneration,
that's what they are, they were once young like you. It is not
very long ago, it is not very long ago, that all the elderly
ladies, please forgive me, I don't want to offend, but all the elderly
ladies sitting here, and I know many others, do you know, you
young people would look at them and you think, oh, there's a
load of old women. Do you know, they were glamorous young women
once, not many years ago, not many years ago, they were glamorous
young women. Where's it gone? Where's it disappeared
to? To the 20-year-old, You think,
oh, if 20 years took that long to pass, there's so much more
before I start to get old. No, you are starting to get old
now. You see, to the 65-year-old like
me, that 20-year-old's life passed in a flash. It seemed no sooner
have started than he's 20 years old, and more. I said 20 and
not 21 just to try and not make it too specific, but you know
what I mean. No, old age will be on you soon. Look at verse
1 of chapter 12 in the middle of it. While the evil days come
not, the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh when
thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. Look at this, look at
the warning to the young. about the process of aging. Just
read with me down to verse seven. Look. Verse two. While the sun or the light or
the moon or the stars be not dark, why are they darkened?
Failing sight. Failing sight. Nor the clouds
return after the rain. In the day when the keepers of
the house shall tremble, the keepers of the house, the bones,
let's say. You know, you can put your own
interpretation on what these different things metaphorically
are, but the keepers of the house, the bones, the limbs, the arms,
and the strong men shall bow themselves, the strong men, the
muscles, the legs, the back, the loin, the strength of the
body. Think now, while you're young.
Don't wait till the evil days come, because the days will come,
and We're not by any stretch of the imagination what most
people would consider very old in our sixties, but having done
three or four hours work in the garden yesterday, this morning,
we're aching like mad. We can hardly stand up because
it aches in the bottom of the back. The strong men are bowing
themselves. They're bending. They're not
straight properly. The grinders cease. Grinders? Do you get dental bills? The
grinders, the teeth, the teeth, your teeth are falling out and
rotting away and they're becoming few. And those that look out
of the windows, the windows, the eyes, problems with our eyes.
as you get older, you get that. And the doors shall be shut in
the streets. The doors, the mouth, you know. I love food, I love eating, but
I'm finding more and more things that I still love the taste of,
I'm finding less and less digestible. And even though I love it, Three
o'clock in the morning, I'm waking up thinking, oh gosh, I wish
I hadn't eaten that. That really doesn't want to digest
very properly. This is it. This is what it's
talking about. And the sound of grinding is low. I think that's
the digestion not working properly. And look, he shall rise up at
the voice of a bird. Little things disturb. And all
the daughters of music shall be brought low. That singing
voice that used to be beautiful when young. is weak and failing. I was listening to Vera Lynn
on the radio the other day and she's nearly a hundred and she's
got an album that's possibly going to be number one in the
album charts and she's nearly a hundred. And they said, do
you sing now? She said, oh, couldn't possibly.
The voice just doesn't work anymore. And they played her singing 30,
40, 50 years ago. And it was, what a lovely, crystal
clear voice that woman had. You see? The daughters of music
shall be brought low. And when they shall be afraid
of that which is high. You go up high, and oh, whoa,
I haven't got the confidence of balance that I used to have.
And fear shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish.
Gray hairs. The hair going grey, the almond
tree, because the almond tree blossom is like a white, pale
pink blossom. The almond tree shall flourish.
And the grasshopper shall be a burden. A grasshopper? No weight
at all. Tiny little thing, making its
nut. It shall be a burden. And desire
shall fail. All sorts of desire. All sorts
of desire for food and pleasure and all sorts of Physical things,
desire shall fail because man goeth to his long home, which
is the grave. That's the long home. And the
mourners go about the streets because one by one we leave this
life in our long home. or ever the silver cord be loosed,
the bond between the soul and body, that cord is loosed, or
the golden bowl be broken, the head, the seat of the thoughts,
or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, the heart pumping the
blood, or the wheel be broken at the cistern, then shall the
dust return to the earth, for as God said to Adam, dust you
are, and to dust you shall return, and the spirit shall return unto
God who gave it. Remember your Creator in the
days of your youth. Think it will never happen to
you? Ask any older person about their experience. Not only will
you grow old and die, but, look at verse 9, look at verse 9 at
the end of it, know thou that for all these things God will
bring thee into judgment. And that's the second point,
the certainty of judgment. Look at verse 14, the last verse
of the whole book. For God shall bring every work
into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or
whether it be evil. As creatures of God, we're subject
to God's rule, to his law, to his justice. We're subject to
his word, everything he has said. And every secret thing, whether
it be good or whether it be evil, shall be brought into judgment.
The only reason people wriggle out of what they know truly in
themselves to be true, that we're created by God, and this world
is a created thing because it couldn't possibly have put itself
together out of nothing, that's what True intelligence says it couldn't
possibly have put itself together out of nothing. The only reason
people wriggle out of that is because, as Romans 1 tells us,
they did not like to retain God in their knowledge. And the reason
why is accountability. They don't want to be accountable.
They don't want to be judged for the way they've lived. But
Hebrews 9.27, as you know so well, tells us, it is appointed
to everyone. There's an appointment for everyone
to die once. And after death, the next thing
you're aware of is the judgment. The judgment. Everything subject
to God's strict, thorough, accurate judgment. Absolutely. Look at
Revelation. Revelation chapter 20 and verse
11. this is what's coming, I saw
a great white throne and him that sat on it from whose face
the earth and the heaven fled away and there was found no place
for them and I saw the dead those who have died but are spirits
their spirits have returned to God who gave their spirits I
saw the dead small and great the high and mighty and the lowly
humble with nothing, and they all stood before God. And the
books were opened, the books, the books of the records of what
everyone has done before the law of God. And another book
was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged
out of those things which were written in the books according
to their works. That's what's going to happen.
judgment, strictly, accurately, according to what everyone has
done. Here's the question that you
should all be asking yourself. How will you fare when the holy
judge tries you for your standing before his law? Will you try
to flee, to hide? It says men and women will, they'll
flee to the mountains, fall on us and hide us, but there will
be no escape. You will find yourself even condemning
yourself. You will find yourself standing
on God's side in your judgment and saying God is just. God is
just. So here is the only wise admonition. Judgment is certainly coming.
Time is going on. We're growing older. Here is
the only wise admonition. Look at it in verse one of chapter
twelve. Remember Remember. Remember now thy creator in the
days of thy youth. Remember now thy creator. And in actual fact, the word
there, creator, is in the plural. It is remember your creators,
plural. Why, why plural? What did God
say when he made Adam? when he made man. Let us make
man in our own image. Who's the plural? Who is it?
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The trinity of persons in the
one Godhead. Let us make man in our own image. Remember now, your creators,
the triune God, the father of spirits, the giver of life. the
Son by whom all things were created, by whom also He made the worlds. By Him was nothing made that
was made. And the Holy Spirit who moved
on the waters in Genesis 1, the Holy Spirit who moved there.
Remember your Creator. And remember Him when you're
young. Remember Him. Remember that there
is a God. Oh, the wisdom of this council
to the young of our day, the young of every generation. Remember
there is a God, for we're so apt to be forgetful about that.
What should we remember? Remember his glorious perfections.
Remember what he is, what his word declares him to be. Remember
his power in creation and sustaining all things. Remember his holiness,
which is a purity of holiness which is beyond anything we can
conceive. He is of purer eyes than to behold
iniquity, and cannot look upon sin. Sin is like an evil stench
in his nostrils. God hates sin, and must punish
sin. His justice must punish sin.
For he is a God of justice, and a God of truth, and there are
no bending the facts, and there is no avoidance of the consequences. But also remember this, that
God throughout Scripture, who is holy and just and must punish
sin, is a God of grace in the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, how graceful
He is. How gracious He is. Oh, how merciful
He is. He says He is a God who is merciful. He delights in being merciful. He delights in pardoning iniquity. He delights in justifying sinners,
though he himself must remain just. He delights in justifying
sinners. Remember, remember him in the
days of your youth. Remember that you are the clay
that God has moulded and formed. He is the potter, we're the clay.
He is the one who has made us and not we ourselves. Remember
your Creator in the days of your youth. He has given you life. He has preserved you in it. Remember
the state in which you were made originally in Adam, sinless and
upright. But dust, for dust you are and
to dust you shall return. And now, through sin, which we're
all born in sin, as David said, in sin did my mother conceive
me. And what he meant was that we are all by nature, by birth,
the progeny of Adam, in that we're sinners, rebels against
the living God. We're fallen in our true state
from that state of perfection in which God created man. We're
impure. We're unrighteous. We're powerless
before God. We're abominable in his sight. You know this message of modern
evangelicalism, well it's been down all the ages. God loves
you and has a wonderful plan for your life. No, the truth
is, God is angry with the wicked every day. That's the truth of
scripture. Know this, remember this. Before
God, in the sight of God, you are unworthy to live. You are
unworthy to live. And you know what? You're unfit
to die in your sins. Transgressors of God's law. And the transgression of the
law is sin. And the soul that sins, it shall die. Remember
your creator in the days of your youth. Remember what God had
to do in order to be just and justify sinners, to satisfy his
justice for sinners, if they're to be saved from condemnation.
What did God have to do? Sin was such a disabling thing
in terms of spiritual life and spiritual good. God had to choose
a people in Christ, in his electing grace. He had to send his well-beloved
son, and only him could come. in a body prepared. As the children
have partaken of flesh and blood, so must Christ come and partake
of the same flesh and blood that in that flesh and blood He might
satisfy the offended law of God in the place of those who were
united with Him in electing grace before the beginning of time.
He had to redeem them in Christ when He came in the flesh on
the cross of Calvary. and he had to regenerate them.
So he does. Those who even now are children
of wrath as others are brought under the sound of the gospel.
They're arrested. And who does the arresting? It's
the Spirit of God who comes and arrests and makes willing in
the day of his power those to whom he shows the gospel of his
grace that they might believe the Son of God and trust him
and find that in him is all they need. that everything that God
requires is guaranteed by the guarantor, by the surety, for
Christ is the surety of his people, he's the substitute of his people,
and the surety of his people, the surety of their standing
before God, because God judges his people in Christ. And he's
well pleased with them in Christ, and he accepts their works in
Christ. For in Christ, all of their sins
and offenses against his law have been paid to the uttermost.
And so, he saves to the uttermost. Are you clinging on by your fingernails?
No, if you're in Christ, you are saved to the uttermost. Your
feet are welded to that rock, that solid rock, for eternity.
So remember, whose you are, and whom you should aim to serve.
There is no higher calling. Oh, they're calling me to play
such and such a part. Oh, they're calling me to such
and such a role in life. Oh, my job, I've got a really
good big promotion. Remember whose you are and whom
you should aim to serve, for there is no higher calling than
the calling of God in grace. So, as that verse says, Remember
your creator in the days of your youth. Remember the God who has
made you and to whom you are subject and to whom you are accountable. And this word of admonition goes
on. Listen to his word of grace. Look at verses 9 to 11. Moreover, because the preacher
was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yea, he gave
good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. The
preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written
was upright, even words of truth. The words of the wise are as
goads and as nails fastened by the masters of assembly, which
are given from one shepherd." Now then, what's that talking
about? Preaching. Preaching the Gospel. Preaching the Word of God. This
is given by one shepherd, and is passed on by his under-shepherds. The one shepherd is the Lord
Jesus Christ. He said, I am the good shepherd.
My sheep hear my voice and they follow me. They will not follow
an hireling. This is the Good Shepherd who
gives his word to his ministers. He speaks. Read the letters in
Revelation 2 and 3, where Christ, the risen Christ, the glorified
Christ, write this letter to the angel, the minister of the
church at Ephesus, at Thyatira, at Philadelphia, at Laodicea. Write this message to them, that
they might pass this message on. This is preaching. This is
the admonition. Remember your Creator and listen
to His word of grace. For in the Lord Jesus Christ,
who is all the word of God, He is the word of God. There is
no word of God other than the Lord Jesus Christ. In Him are
hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. If you would truly
know God, if you would truly know purpose and fulfillment
and satisfaction in this life, you must have the treasure which
is in the wisdom and knowledge in the Lord Jesus Christ. And
what are they? What are these treasures? I'll
give you some treasures. The treasure of substitution,
of knowing that Christ stood in your place, that united to
him, union with Christ, so that he might stand in your place
and satisfy all the requirements of God on your behalf, in your
place. And that in so doing, he might
make satisfaction to the law of God. For the law demands the
soul that sins it shall die. And the law looks at Christ and
says, it's enough. I'm happy. I'm content. Let him
go free. Release him from the pit. I've
found a ransom. Is that not what the scripture
says? Yes, that's what it says. And in making satisfaction He
makes propitiation, for God is angry with the wicked every day,
but oh what blessedness to know that that just wrath and anger
of God is propitiated. It's turned away. The fire is
put out. It's calmed, it's happy, it's
satisfied. For Christ has redeemed us. He
is a treasure of wisdom and knowledge. Redeemed. Let the redeemed of
the Lord say so. We're redeemed by the blood of
the Lamb. For that blood has paid redemption's
price. The blood has paid the ransom. Deliberate us from the bondage
of the law and its condemnation. And redeeming us, He has justified
us. He has justified His people.
So that we stand before the bar of the justice of God on that
day appointed when we die, and then the judgment, and we are
pronounced immediately justified. Welcome, welcome, you blessed
of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation
of the world. And being justified, He has also
sanctified us. He sanctified us. in everything
that we do. He's made us holy vessels in
the presence and judgment of God. Live by this gospel word. This is the admonition. Live
by this gospel word. Remember your creator in the
days of your youth. Live by this gospel word. Live
by this heavenly bread. For Christ said, I am the true
bread which came down from heaven. If you eat of him and drink his
blood, you will never hunger or thirst. Of course, he's not
talking about cannibalism. He's talking about spiritual
life. That in his body, he's coming
to this earth in the place of his people, in his body which
was broken and his blood which was shed, he made satisfaction. While you are young, do it. Don't
put it off. These are your best days before
the decay of age sets in, for surely it will come. It's inevitable. Today is the day of salvation. Now is the time to seek, to know
God, and to walk in his light. Be warned, be warned. This is
a very true saying. Those who spend a lifetime without
Christ almost always die without Christ. There are very few, I
know we hear of the thief on the cross, but don't go taking
comfort from that, that you can leave it to the last minute.
Today is the day of salvation. And if you die without Christ,
you die without hope of acceptance with God. Today, oh you say I'm
young, I've got many days left ahead of me. Think of the rich
fool. You've got much goods laid up
for such a long... Thou fool, this day, this night,
your soul shall be required of you. Today is the only day you
know you have left. And even that, only the bit of
it that you've lived so far of this day. So today, while it
is called today, especially while you are young today, harden not
your heart in unbelief and rejection of God. What's the conclusion
of the whole matter? Verse 13. Let us hear the conclusion
of the whole matter. Solomon has already clearly established
the futility of life lived without the God who made us. So how do
you come into a knowledge of God, which is the only true fulfillment
of man? It's the only true fulfillment
of man. When it says there at the end of verse 13, for this
is the whole duty of man, duties in italics, it's not really there.
This is the whole of man. This is the completeness of man.
What do we admonish to do? Fear him, fear God. That's what
he says there, fear God. Proverbs 1 verse 7, the fear
of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, the beginning of
wisdom. What does it mean? Reverence
him, respect him for who he is and what you are in comparison.
And then it says, keep his commandments. Keep his commandments? What does
that mean? Do your best to obey the law and to live by it and
to keep it as your rule of life because God will be pleased with
you and will count you favorably? Not at all, because we can't
do that. For by the works of the Lord,
no flesh shall be justified in his sight. If righteousness come
by the works of the law, then Christ is dead in vain. But he
isn't. Because righteousness doesn't
come by the works of the law. Righteousness comes by, not faith
in Jesus Christ, but by the faith of Jesus Christ. When he fulfilled
the law himself. When he satisfied the law. When
he died in the place of his people. No, keeping the commandments
of God. What is the commandment? The Jews asked Jesus, what's
the commandment? What's the work that we must do? And Jesus said,
this is the work of God. that you believe on him whom
he has sent. The commandment of God, and you'll
see it again and again in the New Testament, is that you obey
his gospel. This is the work, that you believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ, that you trust him, that you bow to
the purposes and the edicts of God, that you hear his calling,
and that you heed that calling, and do it now, today, while it's
today. Look at Matthew 11 28 we know
it well, but it's worth reading again Jesus said these words
To all of those who are thinking, is this relevant to me? What
must I do? Come unto me, all ye that labour
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke,
that's the yoke, is the thing they put on the oxen or on the
horses that they might pull the heavy load. Take my yoke, this
symbol of burden on you, and learn of me. For I am meek and
lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest for your souls." Not
labour, rest. For why? Unlike your picture
of what most yokes are like, heavy, hard, burdensome, my yoke
is easy. And my burden is light. John
chapter 7, verse 37. Jesus stood in Jerusalem. Jesus
stood and cried. Cried out loud, saying, If any
man thirst, thirst for what? Thirst for peace with God. Thirst
for righteousness with God. Let him come unto me and drink.
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his
belly shall flow rivers of living water, for he will give that
by his spirit. Isaiah 55, Isaiah 55, you know
these words as well. Ho, everyone that thirsteth. for peace with God, for acceptance
with God. Come to the waters and he that
has no money, how much will it cost me? Nothing. Come, buy,
eat, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
You spend your money on that which can never satisfy, incline
your ear and come to me and live. And then verse 6 of that same
chapter. Verse 6. Seek ye the Lord while
he may be found. When may he be found? Today.
Today. Don't put it off. Seek ye the
Lord. Call upon him while he is near. Let the wicked, the
unbeliever, forsake his way. And the unrighteous man his thoughts,
and let him return to the Lord. And he will have mercy upon him. And to our God, For He will abundantly
pardon. And then finally, Revelation
22. Verse 17. The Spirit and the Bride say,
Come. And let him that heareth say,
Come. And let him that is athirst, Come. And whosoever will, let
him take of the water of life freely. Fear God. Heed His call
to come. Find His grace to be superabundant
in salvation. Cry to Him. Cry to him, not in
fear and terror, but cry, Abba, Father, Abba, Father. He's given
us that spirit of adoption. We find it when we come, Abba,
Father. Embrace your all-powerful heavenly
master and friend. Find true meaning and purpose
in living with God and living for God. Verse 13, for this is
the whole of man. This is the completion. This
is the fulfillment of man. Where does the New Testament

complete in him, in the Lord Jesus Christ. That's a life of
purpose. Amen.
