Life Application Questions
- What is wisdom? Define it. What do the first three chapters of Ecclesiastes tell about wisdom?
- Why is it impossible to find fulfillment “under the sun”? Why doesn’t wisdom bring fulfillment (1:12-18)? Why don’t pleasure and escapism bring fulfillment (2:1-11)? Why don’t achievement and building a legacy bring fulfillment (2:12-23)?
- The Book of Ecclesiastes can feel cynical and pessimistic. What hope do you find in the first three chapters of Ecclesiastes? Consider 2:24-26 and 3:9-15. What is missing from “the teacher’s” wisdom, which Jesus Christ and the New Testament bring into the picture?
