I believe that there are some very important lessons that we can learn from these verses; ā€ˇlessons which are very good for all men to learn, if they are ever to come to know God and the ā€ˇmeaning of life. Certainly we must acknowledge that all that Solomon has said here is true; ā€ˇbut we must use it to draw the right conclusions about the differences between men and ā€ˇbeasts. We must not rest in existential conclusions alone, or we will not glorify our God who ā€ˇhas made us to differ from the beasts. And so, I believe that it is only right, in our study this ā€ˇafternoon, that we will add to Solomonā€™s conclusions, more spiritual light which we will find ā€ˇin the rest of Scripture. And this I will present to you, so that you will understand the truth ā€ˇabout the eternal destiny of man. 1st of all - We will examine the fact that both man and the ā€ˇanimals die, and because of that, man has no advantage over the animals. And then 2nd ā€“ We ā€ˇwill look at whether the spirit of a man (a human being) goes upward to heaven, or downward ā€ˇto the earth, and why. I want to show you, in each of these points, that the only thing that ā€ˇcauses us to differ from any other person, or even from the animals themselves, is the grace ā€ˇof God which we find in our Lord Jesus Christ.ā€ˇ
