In Ecclesiastes, we have the writings of a wise man, Solomon—the king of Israel who is also called, “the preacher.” He was greater than all the kings who came before him, yet he found life to be vain – empty and without purpose. He was searching for fulfillment, and he describes this deep sense of purposelessness.
Without direction and without understanding, I could make a living but wonder: why am I living? I can collect money, have a girlfriend, and have a family. But the question remains—why am I living? I am alive to be a witness for Him.
Talk with Wisdom
God Himself gives us His life. The Son was sent to live in this world with a testimony and to be a witness in a dark world. Then, His Spirit was sent in Acts 2. The disciples spoke with authority and power, for the Spirit had power over the tongue. They shared the Gospel in languages they didn’t even know. Peter stood up and witnessed to the reality of the Resurrection, and 3,000 people believed.
This happened not by personality, human persuasion, or argument and debate, but by the presence of God. The visitation of God was there in the witness. It is a witness born of God’s grace, and it is for the church today.
We talk to people with the wisdom God has given us, not with a purposeless knowledge that puffs up our self-life. We have the witness of Christ—it is real, powerful, and fulfilling.
