Jesus, the Redeemer of Vanity

Series: The Story of Redemption

Category: Hope, Salvation, Gospel

Speaker: Jason Williams

In this sermon, we walked through Ecclesiastes, where "The Preacher" wrestles with the meaning of life. We heard how wisdom, work, pleasure, and wealth—all things we often chase—are like a vapor that cannot satisfy. Yet, as we were reminded through the text, God has placed eternity in our hearts, pointing us to the only One who can give true meaning. The book concludes that to fear God and keep His commandments is "the whole of man." This is more than just our duty; it is the essence of what we were created for. And ultimately, we saw how Christ entered our vanity, bore our judgment, and rose victorious so that our fleeting lives could carry eternal weight. In Him, our vanity is transformed into victory.
