Today I will continue our sermon series which is an expository study through the book of Ecclesiastes. We find ourselves in the second section of the book, which is where Solomon seeks to prove the assertion he made in the first section. In the sermons in chapter three we considered the amazing providence of God over all the affairs of this world. But that raised an intriguing question for Solomon. If indeed this good God is truly sovereign, then why is there so much injustice and unrighteousness in the world? In the sermon last week I developed Solomon's two-fold answer to that question. First, all evil will be judged, and secondly, all evil serves God's purposes. Now Solomon takes it a step further, for he looked at the social scene around him and lamented the appalling human oppression that he saw. Furthermore, he also discovered that there was no one anywhere to comfort the oppressed. I will develop the thought of Solomon, but most importantly, I will work out the Christian response that I am just beginning to grasp. Again it is my prayer is that God will be pleased to bless the His word preached as we continue our study.
