The Wise Man Who Does Not Grasp God’s Greatness
This passage deals with the frustration believers feel as they see the injustice of the world and the long lives of the wicked. Solomon points out that because the wicked are not judged at once, they sin boldly, and he explains that this is because God is being patient to give them an opportunity to repent. The world's abundance and long life are in the end empty things that vanish like a shadow, and the passage emphasizes that true blessing lies in eternal life after death.
Through the case of Judas Iscariot, the sermon shows how someone who knows the Word but whose heart has not been changed becomes a tool of Satan. And through the experience of Solomon, who enjoyed power and wisdom yet did not fear God and in the end felt only emptiness, it teaches that human wisdom and effort alone cannot bring true satisfaction. Believers must not be swallowed up by the world's standards, but must understand God's patience and hope for eternal life through faith in Christ.
The sermon urges believers to live a meaningful life following Christ rather than the world's empty glory. Finally, it invites the reader to meditate deeply on why we must walk toward the eternal kingdom of heaven, rather than becoming churchgoers who do not fear God or heroes of the world.
