One and Only

Since no one knows the future, who can tell someone else what is to come?

As no one has power over the wind to contain it,  so no one has power over the time of their death. As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.

Ecclesiastes 8:7-8 (NIV)

Who are we to tell others what to do?

No human intellect cannot predict the future.

Why do we live as though death will never come?

We buy and sell, we accumulate property, we use mental and physical energy to grab more.

Same thing...

Like grabbing the wind and stopping its flow.

Oh, and this may be the most important…

Continuously resist the practice of every wickedness.

Evil is a vise tightened to the extreme. No man can break its grip.

Who knows the future?

Has power over death?

Who breaks the vise grip of wickedness?

Jesus.

One and only.

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6
