One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
It would not be difficult to see in this, “vanity.” We come, we go, and nothing really changes. History is marked by men who have gained renown:
- Alexander the Great
- Cleopatra
- Henry VIII
- Napoleon
- Washington
- Hitler
Some have caused memorable harm. Others have made considerable advances. Most of us do well if we earn a piece of marble with our name engraved upon it. I suspect most of the world’s population don’t even get that.
We pass away.
The next generation takes over after us.
And nothing really changes.
What’s the point?
Too many people have consigned themselves to pointlessness. They believe mankind is nothing more than an animal. We come, we go, and the world continues.
Unless there is a point.
Only the Word of God provides for the possibility of something beyond this world. Something eternal, something where good and evil have their place. The best part of the Bible? Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, died a vicarious death, and rose victoriously from the grave. And Jesus Christ – the only one to have done all that – endorses the Bible as the truth!
