Part 2: A Goose Chase Without a Goose
Ecclesiastes 2:1-11
Our problem is not that we are hedonists, but rather that we are too easily pleased, and rather than getting pure pleasure from God’s right hand (Psalm 16:11) we settle for cheap imitations that never satisfy. Consequently, we have sex but not love, music but not worship, and wealth but not stewardship. We long for the infinite and perfect, yet settle for the finite, imperfect and fleeting pleasures on the earth, which is a sin we need to repent of, turn from, and have forgiven and cleansed by Jesus. It was He, our great God, who was tempted as we are, yet did not settle for sin and instead died for our many sins. He then rose to make us new people with appetites for the pleasures of God instead of the god of pleasure.
