The first chapter of Ecclesiastes focuses on rejoicing on the end of a thing instead of it's beginning. Have you ever heard the phrase, "When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice"? Death, to many, is a sad and dreadful event. But, just a few moments soaking up the wisdom of Eccl. 7 will open your eyes into seeing death as being more precious than the day you were born.
The story about the Minnesota town made me smile when I first read it. But so true! When Christians get to where they are going, they will know it. We know what we are looking for---it is the burning eyes of our Savior longing for His bride!
