(Ecclesiastes 2:1-11)<\/p>\n
Je devins grand, plus grand que tous ceux qui \u00e9taient avant moi dans J\u00e9rusalem. Et m\u00eame ma sagesse demeura avec moi. Tout ce que mes yeux avaient d\u00e9sir\u00e9, je ne les en ai point priv\u00e9s ; je n’ai refus\u00e9 \u00e0 mon c\u0153ur aucune joie ; car mon c\u0153ur prenait plaisir \u00e0 tout mon travail, et c’est la part qui m’en est revenue. (Eccl\u00e9siaste 2 : 9-10)<\/strong><\/p>\n C’est avec ce verset que l’on peut r\u00e9sumer les propos de l’Eccl\u00e9siaste dans ce passage. \u00c0 la fin, l’Eccl\u00e9siaste conclut que tout est vanit\u00e9. Aucun profit ; car apr\u00e8s tout, on est contraint de tout laisser. Le riche meurt, le pauvre aussi. Tout comme le sage et l’insens\u00e9.<\/p>\n King Solomon was very happy, very rich and very powerful.<\/strong> Par contraste, rien de cela ne pouvait remplacer la garantie que lui procurait la pr\u00e9sence de Dieu dans sa vie. Rien. Et qu’est-ce qui peut garantir notre vie sans J\u00e9sus-Christ ?<\/p>\n Salomon disait que m\u00eame la joie, c’est encore Dieu qui l’offre. (Ecc.2 :26) J\u00e9sus ajouta ceci, \u00ab que servirait-il \u00e0 l’homme \u00e0 tout gagner s’il perdait son \u00e2me ? Que peut-il bien donner en \u00e9change de son \u00e2me ? \u00bb (Mat.16 : 26)<\/strong><\/p>\n S’attacher \u00e0 J\u00e9sus-Christ constitue une parfaite garantie pour notre vie pr\u00e9sente et d’apr\u00e8s. J\u00e9sus nous a enseign\u00e9 \u00e0 aimer Dieu et notre prochain. Ce qui constitue pour nous un culte raisonnable que nous devons lui rendre, une v\u00e9ritable source de b\u00e9n\u00e9diction et du salut, une garantie. Avons-nous besoin d’assassiner pour une gloire \u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8re ou pour un poste politique que nous devons abandonner le jour suivant ? Vanit\u00e9.<\/p>\nThere were men among us who were reputed to be wiser and more powerful in Africa and around the world, but who were unable to overcome disease and death despite their considerable means.
