Ecclesiastes, chapter 2, verse 11,

that I considered all that my hands had done,

and the toil that I had expended in doing it,

in behold, all was vanity and a striving afterwind,

and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

Oh, what a verse to meditate on,

and pray according to on Good Friday.

Here in verse 11, Solomon, who's the author of Ecclesiastes,

is considering all the ways he has sought in the world

to satisfy himself, and he basically describes different pursuits

and possessions and pleasures he has sought in the world.

And he gets to the end, he says, I've done everything.

Whatever my eyes desired, I did not keep from them.

I went after everything I saw, he says in verse 10,

and then I looked back, and it was all vanity.

It was all a striving after the wind.

There was nothing to be gained under the sun.

What a picture for you and I to see today,

that when we look around the world and all that it offers, everything.

This is like Jesus saying to us,

what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world?
