從傳道書看人生的美事
引言：所羅門王一生榮華富貴，地位崇高，智慧勝過眾人，經歷了一生寫下了傳道書，我們看傳道書是如何看待世人們所認為人生的美事，而傳道書認為的人生美事又是什麼呢？首先我們先看世人以為美的事，聖經如何看待呢？
一．世人以為美的事
１．追求學問：但在傳道書看來有３個看法
第一個看法：太勞苦：我們以目前台灣為例，升學壓力很大，競爭也很激烈，社會上都會以掛有博士頭銜為榮，以自己是某某國立名校畢業為榮。就因為如此，社會上很多人都在學問上不斷的鑽研，不斷的補習。我們都經歷過這樣的讀書，寫功課，做報告，考試，不斷的循環這樣的過程，不管這些對各位來說是過去式或者是未來式還是現在進行式。我們都知道這是一件非常辛苦的事，都要花很多的時間去研讀，絞盡腦汁來找尋答案，卻不見得可以找到答案。（傳道書八16~17）：16 我專心求智慧，要看世上所做的事。（有晝夜不睡覺，不合眼的。）17 我就看明 神一切的作為，知道人查不出日光之下所做的事；任憑他費多少力尋查，都查不出來，就是智慧人雖想知道，也是查不出來。這裏有說 神的一切的作為，人是無法查出來的，不要說 神的作為，就連我們在學校裏為了要解一條微積分或者解證明題都會傷透腦筋了，何況是 神的作為。但人往往想要憑藉著自己的力量，要去追求永無止境的學問。
追求學問：但在傳道書看來
第二個看法：多煩惱（傳道書一16~18）：16我心裡議論說：“我得了大智慧，勝過我以前在耶路撒冷的眾人，而且我心中多經歷智慧和知識的事。”17 我又專心察明智慧、狂妄和愚昧，乃知這也是捕風。18 因為多有智慧，就多有愁煩；加增知識的，就加增憂傷。舉例：像學化學的，對甲苯或ＤＭＦ會害怕，學電的人對電磁波也會特別的注意，學醫的對細菌及病毒也特別敏感，
當我們懂得的越多的時候，會越煩惱。有時候因為我們的知識，讓我們會發現這個東西不能吃，那個水不能喝，外面空氣太髒了，不能出去，搞到最後也許覺得這個地球不能住了。有時候知識勝過信心的時候，你會有很多事情不敢做，比如像坐飛機有人敢坐，有人担心而不敢坐，有時我們看看我們四周的人，他不見得比我們懂得多，但你會發現他們過得比我們還快樂，還健康。
追求學問：但在傳道書看來
第三個看法：未必好（傳道書九11）：我又轉念，見日光之下，快跑的未必能贏；力戰的未必得勝；智慧的未必得糧食，明哲的未必得資財，靈巧的未必得喜悅；所臨到眾人的，是在乎當時的機會。
很多人都認為努力追求學問，讓自己更聰明更有機會勝出，但是不是每一個人都可以如願以償，達到自己所想要的。同樣的，把自己有限的讀書時間另外撥出時間奉獻給神，不見得沒有機會勝出，因為所在乎的是當時神所賜的機會。舉例：今年(100年)年初有舉辦公家機關的初等考試，結果眾多的報考人中有12名博士畢業全都落榜，正如智慧的未必得糧食，未必得到這個鐵飯碗。
２．追求錢財：錢財每個人喜愛，都想要追求更多的財富，但我們知道“君子愛財，取之有道”要合乎中道，合乎正道，如果過份追求錢財，而忽略了信仰，忽略了家庭，忽略了健康，那是得不償失的。所以我們看傳道書如何看待追求錢財
追求錢財：但在傳道書看來有４個看法
一．第一個看法：太勞碌（傳道書四5~8）：5愚昧人抱著手，吃自己的肉。6節 滿了一把，得享安靜，強如滿了兩把，勞碌捕風。有人常說一句話年輕的時候努力加班，拼命兼差，交際應酬，用自己的身體健康換取金錢；等到真的賺到了財富，自己的身體也弄壞了，這時候要把所賺的錢拿來買藥吃，自己不斷的勞碌什麼都沒得到，難道不是勞碌捕風嗎？7節 我又轉念，見日光之下有一件虛空的事：8節 有人孤單無二，無子無兄，竟勞碌不息，眼目也不以錢財為足。他說：“我勞勞碌碌，刻苦自己，不享福樂，到底是為誰呢？”這也是虛空，是極重的勞苦。這在我們平時周遭的朋友們，也會看到有些人不停的上班賺錢，也不給自己和家人一起享樂的時間，成為一個賺錢的機器。真的為誰辛苦，為誰忙呢？如果這般勞勞碌碌不能使自己得到喜樂，何不停下腳步，安靜的坐在會堂，聆聽聖經的話語享受平靜安穩喜樂。
追求錢財：但在傳道書看來
二．第二個看法：不知足（傳道書五10~12）: 10貪愛銀子的，不因得銀子知足；貪愛豐富的，也不因得利益知足。這也是虛空。我們看社會上很多富豪會因為自己很多錢而說夠了嗎?舉例：曾經在很多年前電視新聞有報導一個在高雄煮牛肉麵的廚師，在煮牛肉麵的時候煮到一半知道自己中樂透，結果手在抖煮不下去，於是就放下煮麵的工具，與店裏的客人握手道別。馬上辭職去過著他夢寐以求的有錢人生活，他得到七億的金額是他辛苦一輩子也賺不到的（一次到位），現在一次通通給他，照理說，他好好的過生活，一生行善助人，這筆錢是花不完的，但是他不會因此而滿足，將這些錢再拿去投資加油站，及隨便揮霍，盡情的享受，結果經過一年多就猝死。11貨物增添，吃的人也增添，物主得甚麼益處呢？不過眼看而已。12勞碌的人不拘吃多吃少，睡得香甜；富足人的豐滿，卻不容他睡覺。
追求錢財：但在傳道書看來
三．第三個看法：歸別人（傳道書二18~21）：18節 我恨惡一切的勞碌，就是我在日光之下的勞碌，因為我得來的必留給我以後的人。19節 那人是智慧是愚昧，誰能知道？他竟要管理我勞碌所得的，就是我在日光之下用智慧所得的。這也是虛空。20節 故此，我轉想我在日光之下所勞碌的一切工作，心便絕望。不管你是智慧得來或是幸運得來或是不法得來，最後離開了世上，剩下的也帶不走，至於如何處理，誰要來花這些都不是你來決定的。
追求錢財：但在傳道書看來
四．第四個看法：帶不回（傳道書五13~15）：13我見日光之下，有一宗大禍患：就是財主積存資財，反害自己。14節 因遭遇禍患，這些資財就消滅；那人若生了兒子，手裡也一無所有。15節 他怎樣從母胎赤身而來，也必照樣赤身而去；他所勞碌得來的，手中分毫不能帶去。
中樂透的牛肉麵的廚師,難道不是最好的人生寫照嗎？（不會因為有了七億而知足，他花不完的也是留給別人，用不完的也是帶不走）。工作穏定，收入穏定就是 神的祝福了讓我們得了大利。解釋：40萬元美金一次給？一仟分２０年給？那一個對我們有利呢？
人的角度，神的角度。比如說：（保守估計，取平均值）如果一個家庭一年2萬元美金，穩定２０年也有40萬元美金………
３．追求奢華宴樂：傳道書如何看待追求奢華宴樂呢？
一．是虛空（傳道書二１）：我心裡說：“來吧！我以喜樂試試你，你好享福。”誰知，這也是虛空。例：奢華宴樂是世人所喜愛的，揮霍無度，沒有節制。
二．不滿足（傳道書一８）：8節 萬事令人厭煩（註：或作“萬物滿有困乏”），人不能說盡。眼看，看不飽；耳聽，聽不足。9節 已有的事，後必再有；已行的事，後必再行。日光之下，並無新事。
提摩太前書六6 然而，敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了7 因為我們沒有帶甚麼到世上來，也不能帶甚麼去，8只要有衣有食，就當知足。。
二．書中的指示以為美的事
１．健康（傳道書五18~19）：18我所見為善為美的，就是人在神賜他一生的日子吃喝，享受日光之下勞碌得來的好處，因為這是他的分。19節 神賜人資財豐富，使他能以吃用，能取自己的分，在他勞碌中喜樂，這乃是神的恩賜。。。有人身體不好禁不起勞碌，或者沒有食慾，所以可以勞碌又可以吃的下就是健康了。我們自己想一想，我們每天這麼辛苦的工作，下班後可以和自己心愛的人快快樂樂，健健康康的享用一頓飯，就是很大的幸福了。
一．在勞碌中吃喝：傳道書二24人莫強如吃喝，且在勞碌中享福，我看這也是出於神的手。傳道書三13 並且人人吃喝，在他一切勞碌中享福，這也是神的恩賜。我們每天有工作在忙碌，在忙完一天之後享受勞碌所得的，這是神所喜悅的。而不是世人所說的，如果我們有幾仟萬，那我們就可以整天不用工作，到處遊山玩水，盡情的享樂，這跟剛剛所說的中獎的牛肉麵廚師，有什麼兩樣呢？你會羨慕他剛開始的中獎嗎？你會接受他這樣的結局嗎？所以整天不用工作，到處遊山玩水，盡情的享樂，這不是神所喜悅的。
二．相反的，在黑暗；煩惱；病患；嘔氣中吃喝乃屬不幸（傳道書五17）。比如：一頓美食，有生魚片，鮑魚，烏魚子，牛肉，羊肉，結果卻是把這些放在沒有燈的黑漆漆的房間裏吃，眼睛看不到，一定會沒有食慾，肉眼沒有看到尚且沒有食慾了，何況心眼沒有光，心眼處在黑暗中，會有食慾嗎？我們生命中沒有神的光照耀，我們的心眼是看不到的，這樣的吃喝會快樂嗎？
２．樂在工作（傳道書三22前半段）第22節 故此，我見人莫強如在他經營的事上喜樂，因為這是他的分。每個人在自己的工作崗位上認真工作，從工作中得到成就感，在工作中榮耀主的名，這是主所喜悅的。這跟剛才所提到的日夜不停的上班，加班不同，同樣是努力工作樂在工作，
前面所提到的是沒有節制的，工作是他的唯一，他因為工作而佔用了與神親近的時間。這裏說的是樂在工作是為了報答主恩，榮耀主的名，不會為了工作而忽略了與神親近，反而在工作中表現出基督的形像。他的態度是：
一．人生以服務為目的（參考：馬可福音十42~45）可十43只是在你們中間，不是這樣。你們中間，誰願為大，就必作你們的用人；44在你們中間，誰願為首，就必作眾人的僕人。45因為人子來，並不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，並且要捨命作多人的贖價。”
二．一切都是為主（羅馬書十四7~9）7節 我們沒有一個人為自己活，也沒有一個人為自己死。8節 我們若活著，是為主而活；若死了，是為主而死。所以我們或活或死，總是主的人。9節 因此基督死了，又活了，為要作死人並活人的主。今天我們不管是從事什麼工作當我們表明我們是基督徒時，別人都會注意我們的行為，做的好是讓主得榮耀，做不好只會讓主蒙羞。
３．行善（傳道書三12） 我知道世人，莫強如終身喜樂行善。
一．屬肉：賙濟人。像多加（使徒行傳九36）在約帕有一個女徒，名叫大比大，翻希臘話就是多加（註：就是“羚羊”的意思）。她廣行善事，多施賙濟。有些人雖然有能力，但不一定能做得出來。能做得出來，是有福氣的。
二．屬靈：傳福音（傳道書十一6~7）。像保羅（哥林多前書九22～23）22向軟弱的人，我就作軟弱的人，為要得軟弱的人；向甚麼樣的人，我就作甚麼樣的人。無論如何總要救些人。23節 凡我所行的，都是為福音的緣故，為要與人同得這福音的好處。
雅各書二13 因為那不憐憫人的，也要受無憐憫的審判，憐憫原是向審判誇勝。我們在世不管是屬肉的行善或是屬靈的行善，在當下看來好像是付出，事實上在將來審判台前，對自己的受益最大。
４．相愛（傳道書九9）在你一生虛空的年日，就是神賜你在日光之下虛空的年日，當同你所愛的妻快活度日，因為那是你生前在日光之下勞碌的事上所得的分。人生在世，不如意的事十之八九，苦多於樂，所以
一．人活多年，就當快樂多年（傳道書十一８）要珍惜彼此在一起的時候
二．黑暗的日子將到（災難，迫害，年老衰敗），更當好好相愛（傳道書九10）凡你手所當做的事，要盡力去做，因為在你所必去的陰間，沒有工作，沒有謀算，沒有知識，也沒有智慧。
５．敬神（傳道書十二13）這些事都已聽見了，總意就是敬畏神，謹守他的誡命，這是人所當盡的本分（註：或作“這是眾人的本分”）。
一．祂是造物主：傳道書十二1 你趁著年幼，衰敗的日子尚未來到，就是你所說“我毫無喜樂”的那些年日未曾臨近之先，當記念造你的主！羅馬書一20 自從造天地以來，神的永能和神性是明明可知的，雖是眼不能見，但藉著所造之物就可以曉得，叫人無可推諉。。。天地萬物都是祂所造，我們在整個宇宙天地之間，是很渺小的，渺小到就有如大海中的一小湯匙，我們大部份的人都有坐過飛機的經驗，當飛機升空離地面越來越遠的時候，你會發現人，車子，房子變得越來越小，直到完全看不到，此時你會感覺到人在宇宙中是多麼微小，小到可能要用顯微鏡才看得到， 神依然看顧我們，垂聽我們如此卑微的人的禱告，我們在日常生活中，都要感念神的創造，保留我們的生命，比如我們在公司上班，有時我們尚且會在乎公司裏主管的想法，難道我們不用在乎創造宇宙萬物，至高至大，無所不能的 神嗎？祂的命令我們豈敢違背呢？
二．祂是拯救主：（詩篇一四五篇18~20）18節 凡求告耶和華的，就是誠心求告他的，耶和華便與他們相近。19節 敬畏他的，他必成就他們的心願，也必聽他們的呼求，拯救他們。20節 耶和華保護一切愛他的人，卻要滅絕一切的惡人。
三．祂是審判主（傳道書十二14）因為人所做的事，連一切隱藏的事，無論是善是惡，神都必審問。所以我們不論做什麼事，都要對得起神，如果我們做的這件事，是怕別人知道的，那就不要做。因為 神一定知道。
結論：如果得意外之財的煮牛肉麵的廚師能去做到以上傳道書以為美的事就如（健康，樂在工作，行善，相愛，敬拜真神）我想也不會因為得到意外之財一年多就遭此猝死，人生不長，當把機會，多作榮神益人的事，過一個善美的人生。同樣的我們擁有２仟萬，３仟萬的身價只是分２０年，３０年，４０年分攤給我們，我們也要避免以上中獎廚師所做的事，要努力去做傳道書中以為美的事。
如果得到一切世人以為美的事，卻失去了聖經傳道書以為美的事…..(馬太福音十六26) 人若賺得全世界，賠上自己的生命，有甚麼益處呢？人還能拿甚麼換生命呢？
如果做到一切聖經以為美的事，卻失去了世人以為美的事，也不會遺憾（提摩太後書四７~8）7那美好的仗我已經打過了；當跑的路我已經跑盡了；所信的道我已經守住了。8節 從此以後，有公義的冠冕為我存留，就是按著公義審判的主到了那日要賜給我的；不但賜給我，也賜給凡愛慕他顯現的人。
From Ecclesiastes to see the good things in
life
Introduction: Solomon Wang Yisheng wealth,
high status, wisdom is better than everyone, experienced a life wrote
Ecclesiastes, Ecclesiastes we see the world is how to treat people think good
things in life, and Ecclesiastes think good things in life and What is it?
First we look at the world that the United States do, the Bible how to treat
it?
One. Provide things the world
1. The pursuit of knowledge: but it seems
in Ecclesiastes 3 views
The first view: too weary: We present the
case of Taiwan, studies a lot of pressure, competition is fierce, the community
will have to hang doctorate proud to own a certain national pride graduate
schools. Because of this, many people in society are constantly studying on
scholarship, constant tutoring. We have experienced such a reading, homework,
doing reports, examinations, continuous cycle this process, regardless of you
is past tense or future tense or the present tense. We all know that this is a
very hard thing to spend a lot of time to read, struggled to find the answer,
but not necessarily be able to find the answer. (Ecclesiastes 8:16 - 17): 16 I
heart to know wisdom, to see the world did. (There are day and night without
sleep, do not sleep a wink.) 17 I beheld all the work of God, that man can not
find things done under the sun; let him take much force lookups are not check
out, although the person is wisdom want to know is to check it out. Here are
all as God said, people can not check out, not to mention God's act, even our
solutions in order to prove a calculus problem or the solution will be a
headache at school, not to mention God. But people tend to want to by virtue of
their power, go to the endless pursuit of knowledge.
The pursuit of knowledge: but it seems
Ecclesiastes
The second view: Multi troubles
(Ecclesiastes 1:16 - 18): 16 I thought to myself, said:. "I got great
wisdom than all that were before me in Jerusalem, and I have experienced much
of wisdom and knowledge of things" 17 I gave my heart know wisdom, madness
and folly, I perceived that this also is vexation. 18 For in much wisdom is
much grief; increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. Example: like learning
chemistry, toluene or DMF afraid, people will learn electric special attention
to electromagnetic waves, bacteria and viruses are particularly sensitive
medical student,
The more we know the more time will be more
trouble. Sometimes because of our knowledge, we will find that this thing can
not eat, can not drink the water, the outside air is too dirty, you can not go
out, got the last maybe think that this planet can not live. Sometimes
knowledge is better than confidence, you will not do a lot of things, like
flying one dares to sit, there is concern not dare sit, sometimes we look
around us, he knows more than we do not necessarily but you will find that they
have a nice happy than we are, but also healthy.
The pursuit of knowledge: but it seems
Ecclesiastes
The third view: not good (Ecclesiastes IX
11): I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift; may
not win the battle; wisdom may not have food, discernment may not have the
financial resources, may not be smart have joy; happen to them all, but time
and chance.
Many people believe that efforts to the
pursuit of knowledge, make yourself smarter chance to win, but not everyone can
get it, to achieve their desired. Similarly, put their limited time for reading
another aside time dedicated to God, not necessarily no chance of winning,
because the care is the opportunity given by God at that time. Example: This year
(100 years) has held early elementary examination of public authorities, the
results of a large number of candidates, 12 doctoral graduates among all get
the job, the food was not as wise, it may not get the iron rice bowl.
2. The pursuit of money: money that
everyone loved, wants to pursue more wealth, but we know that "gentleman's
love of money, in a proper way" to meet the middle, upright, if excessive
pursuit of money, while ignoring the faith, ignoring family, ignoring the
health, it is worth the candle. So we look at how to look at the pursuit of
money Ecclesiastes
The pursuit of money: it appears that there
are four views of Ecclesiastes
One. The first view: too labor
(Ecclesiastes 4:5 ~ 8): 5 The fool folds his hands and eat their flesh. 6 full handful
with quietness, than full two, toil and chasing the wind. There are people
always say a word when I was younger overtime, and desperately moonlighting,
socializing with their health in exchange for money; until really make a
fortune, also broke his own body, and this time the money should be used to buy
medicine to eat their own toil constantly get nothing, do not toil catch today?
7 I returned, and saw under the sun has a vanity thing: 8 someone goes alone,
no son nor brother, actually endless toil, his eyes were not enough to money
to. He said: "I am weary, hard
himself, not good, and in the end it is for whom?" This also is vanity, is
a heavy toil. This is usually around our friends will see some people go to
work non-stop to make money, not to pleasure yourself and your family time
together and become a money machine. Who is really hard, Who am I doing it? If
so weary not give themselves joy, why not stop, sitting quietly halls,
listening to the words of Scripture to enjoy calm calm joy.
The pursuit of money: but it seems
Ecclesiastes
Two. Second opinion: I do not know enough
(Ecclesiastes 5:10 - 12): 10 He that loveth silver shall not come to be
satisfied with silver; craving rich, nor because of vested interests
contentment. This is also vanity. ? We see a lot of wealthy society a lot of
money because they will say enough right Example: once many years ago,
television news reported a boiled beef noodle chef in Kaohsiung, cook beef
noodles in half the time to cook knew the music through the results do not go
hand in shaking cook, so he put down cooking tools, shook hands with the guests
of the store. Immediately resign to live his dream of the rich life, he got 700
million the amount that he did not earn a hard life (a place), now give him all
time, fair to say that he had good life, and his good deeds helping the money
is enough of, but he will not be satisfied, will invest the money and then take
the gas station, and just splurge, enjoy, the results after a year on death. 11
When goods increase, adding that eat them, and what benefits the owners get it?
But seeing it. 12 laboring man whether he eat little, sleep soundly; abundance
of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
The pursuit of money: but it seems
Ecclesiastes
Three. The third view: Normalized others
(Ecclesiastes 2:18 - 21): 18 I hated all his labor which I labored under the
sun, because I have to come after me who will be left. 19 That man is wise and
foolish, who knows? He had to manage my labor income, with the wisdom that I
obtained under the sun. This is also vanity. 20 Therefore I think I have
labored under the sun all the work, heart to despair. Whether you are smart or
lucky to have come or lawless come, the last to leave the world, and the rest
are not take, as to how to deal with those who want to spend is not for you to
decide.
The pursuit of money: but it seems
Ecclesiastes
Four. The fourth view: with no return
(Ecclesiastes 5:13 - 15): 13 I have seen under the sun, there is a grievous
evil: that the rich man's wealth is stored, their hurt. 14 by evil travail But
those riches perish; But if the man had a son, there is nothing in his hand. 15
how he came naked from the mother's womb, and naked shall still away; he
labored, nothing can bring hands.
Cook beef noodles in the lottery, is it not
the best portrayal of life do? (Not because of the seven hundred million and
contentment, he also left enough of others, and also use up not take). Work
Stable, Stable income is God's blessing that we got to let Italy. Explanation:
400,000 yuan to the U.S. again? One thousand to 20 years? Which is good for us
too?
Human perspective, God's perspective. For
example: (a conservative estimate, taking the average) if a family 20,000 yuan
dollars a year, also has a stable of 20 years 400,000 yuan dollars .........
3. The pursuit of luxury pleasures:
Ecclesiastes how to treat the pursuit of luxury pleasures it?
One. Is vanity (Ecclesiastes II 1): I said
to myself: "Come with me to try your joy, hello enjoy life!." Who
knows, this also is vanity. Example: a sumptuously favorite people in the
world, extravagance, no restraint.
Two. Does not satisfy (Ecclesiastes 1:8): 8
things annoying (Note: or as "all things are full of sleepy"), people
do not say. Seeing the look of unsaturated; lack ears, listen. 9 existing
things, there will be again; already done it, shall be done. Under the sun,
there is nothing new.
Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment
is the heart of Italy 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take
nothing out, eight long have food and clothing, we will be content. .
Two. Indicating that the book thing of
beauty
1. Health (Ecclesiastes 5:18 - 19): 18 I
have seen is good for the United States, that is, God has given his life in the
days of eating and drinking, labors under the sun to enjoy the benefits,
because this is his reward. 19 God gives riches rich man, so that he can eat,
and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor, it is God's gift. . . It
was in poor health can not withstand the toil, or no appetite, so you can work
hard and under can eat is healthier. Think of our own, we work so hard every
day after work and their loved ones can be happy, perfectly healthy to enjoy a
meal, is a great happiness.
One. In toil in the food and drink:
Ecclesiastes 2:24 people nothing better to eat and drink, and enjoy life in
toil, and I think this is the hand of God. Ecclesiastes 3:13 and everyone eat
and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, which is the gift of God. We
work every day in a busy, resulting in labor after enjoying a busy day, which
is pleasing to God. Instead of talking about the world, if we have a few 250
million, then we can not work all day, everywhere, sightseeing, enjoy the
pleasure, which with just said winning beef noodle chef, what is different from
it? You will envy he started winning it? You will accept him this ending? So do
not work all day, everywhere, sightseeing, enjoy the pleasure, which is not
pleasing to God.
Two. In contrast, in the dark; trouble;
patients; pique the food and drink were unfortunate (Ecclesiastes 5:17). For
example: a good meal, sashimi, abalone, mullet, beef, mutton, the result is no
lights on these dark room, eating, eyes can not see, will no appetite, no naked
eye has not yet seen the appetite, not to mention mind there is no light, eye
in the dark, there will be loss of it? Our lives without God's light shine in
our mind is invisible, so food and drink will be happy?
2. Fun at work (Ecclesiastes 3:22 first half)
Section 22 Therefore, I see nothing better people rejoice in his own works,
because this is his reward. Everyone working on their jobs seriously, get a
sense of accomplishment from work, the glory of the Lord's name in their work,
which is pleasing to the Lord. This is mentioned just now working around the
clock, overtime is different, equally happy to work hard at work,
Mentioned earlier there is no restraint,
work is his only because he had to work and take up with God's time. Here that
is fun to work in order to repay the grace of the Lord, the glory of the Lord's
name, do not neglect to work with God, instead of showing the image of Christ
at work. His attitude was:
One. The purpose of life is to serve as
(Reference: Mark ten 42 to 45) to 43 just ten among you, not the case. Among
you, who wants to become great shall be your servant; 44 among you, who would
be first must be slave of all. 45 Son of man came not to be ministered unto,
but to minister, and to give his life as a ransom for many. "
Two. Everything is based (Romans fourteen
7-9) 7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 If we
live, is to live for; If the die is mainly died. So we may be living or dead,
is always the Lord's people. 9 Christ died and lived again, that he might be
dead and the living Lord. Today we are no matter what kind of work when we show
that we are Christians, the people will pay attention to our behavior, to do
good is to let the Lord be glorified, do not just let the Lord into disrepute.
3. Charity (Ecclesiastes 3:12) I know the
world is nothing better to do good lifelong joy.
One. The flesh: and give alms. Like to pay
more (Acts 9:36) In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha, turning the Greek
word is to pay more (Note: that is, "antelope" means). Her good
works, Dorsch alms. While some people have the ability, but not necessarily be
able to work it out. Able to work it out, is blessed.
Two. Spiritual: evangelism (Ecclesiastes
11:6 - 7). Like Paul (I Corinthians 9:22 - 23) 22 To the weak I became as weak,
that I might gain the weak; to what kind of person, what kind of person I would
be. Anyway save some people. 23 And I do all things for the gospel's sake, and
for the people to get the benefits of this same gospel.
James 2:13 because that person is not
compassion, but also by the judgment without mercy, mercy rejoiceth against
judgment wins. Whether we are alive in the flesh of doing good or spiritual
good, and at the moment they seem to pay, in fact, the trial stage in the
future, for their own benefit the most.
4. Love (Ecclesiastes 9:9) in the days of
the years of your life void is void of the years God has given you under the
sun, when you love with the wife happy to survive, because it is your life,
toil under the sun of the resultant matter. Living life, the things most likely
unhappy, bitter than music, so
One. People live for many years, and
rejoice years (Ecclesiastes 11:8) to cherish one another when
Two. Dark days will come (disaster,
persecution, old decay), but when a good love (Ecclesiastes 9:10) Whatsoever
thy hand findeth to do, do do it, because you will go to hell, did not work,
nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
5. Worship (Ecclesiastes 12:13) These
things have been heard, the total Fear God, and keep his commandments, for this
is the whole duty of man (Note: or as "This is all part of the job."
).
One. He is the Creator: Ecclesiastes 12:1
you take advantage of the young, the decline of the day has not yet come, that
you said, "I have no pleasure," the first day of those years
approach, remember when your Lord made! Romans 20 since the creation of one of the world God's eternal
power and divine nature are clearly seen, though it is not visible, but by
creatures can know that men are without excuse. . . He created heaven and earth
are we in the universe between heaven and earth, is very tiny, insignificant to
the sea is like a small spoon, most of us who have been in the experience of
the aircraft, when the plane took off farther away from the ground, you will
find people, cars, houses become smaller and smaller, until it can not see,
then you will feel the person in the universe is so tiny, it may take a
microscope just see, God still cares for us, hear our prayer so humble people,
in our daily lives, have gratitude for God's creation, retention of our lives,
such as our work in the company, sometimes we gave a shit about the company the
idea was in charge, do we not care about the creation of the universe, Tai
supreme, omnipotent God? We dare go against His commands it?
Two. He is the salvation the Lord: (Psalm
one hundred forty-five 18-20) 18 Whosoever shall call upon the LORD, which call
upon his sincerity, and the LORD close with them. 19 fear him, and he will
fulfill their wish, also will hear their cry and saves them. 20 The Lord
preserves all who love him, have to destroy all the wicked.
Three. He is the main judgment
(Ecclesiastes 12:14) because it made people, with every secret thing, whether it is good or evil, God
will be interrogated. So whatever we do, we must be worthy of God, if we do it,
is afraid that people know, then do not do it. God must have known.
Conclusion: If you have a windfall of
boiled beef noodle chef can go do something more than Ecclesiastes that America
as (healthy, happy at work, charity, love, worship the true God) because I
think it will not be a windfall Sudden death befell more than a year, life is
not long, when glorify God the things the opportunity to make more, the United
States had a good life. We also have 2 250 million, $ 10 million worth of just
3 minutes and 20 years, 30 years, 40 years apportioned to us, we have to avoid
doing things than winning chef, Ecclesiastes thought to try to do something
beautiful.
If you get all the things of the world that
the United States, but lost the biblical book of Ecclesiastes that beautiful
thing ..... if (Matthew 16:26) who gains the whole world, and lose his own
life, what good is it? Man give in exchange for his soul?
If you do all the things
the Bible that the United States, the world that the United States has lost
something, do not regret (II Timothy 4:7-8) 7 that I have fought the good fight
of; while running the way I have finished my a; the faith I have kept. 8 Henceforth
there is for me the crown of righteousness remain, which the Lord, the
righteous judge, will give to me on that day; not only to me, but unto all them
also that love his appearing. by Yangshun Ping Author
从传道书看人生的美事
引言：所罗门王一生荣华富贵，地位崇高，智慧胜过众人，经历了一生写下了传道书，我们看传道书是如何看待世人们所认为人生的美事，而传道书认为的人生美事又是什么呢？首先我们先看世人以为美的事，圣经如何看待呢？
一．世人以为美的事
１．追求学问：但在传道书看来有３个看法
第一个看法：太劳苦：我们以目前台湾为例，升学压力很大，竞争也很激烈，社会上都会以挂有博士头衔为荣，以自己是某某国立名校毕业为荣。就因为如此，社会上很多人都在学问上不断的钻研，不断的补习。我们都经历过这样的读书，写功课，做报告，考试，不断的循环这样的过程，不管这些对各位来说是过去式或者是未来式还是现在进行式。我们都知道这是一件非常辛苦的事，都要花很多的时间去研读，绞尽脑汁来找寻答案，却不见得可以找到答案。 （传道书八16~17）：16 我专心求智慧，要看世上所做的事。 （有昼夜不睡觉，不合眼的。）17 我就看明神一切的作为，知道人查不出日光之下所做的事；任凭他费多少力寻查，都查不出来，就是智慧人虽想知道，也是查不出来。这里有说神的一切的作为，人是无法查出来的，不要说神的作为，就连我们在学校里为了要解一条微积分或者解证明题都会伤透脑筋了，何况是神的作为。但人往往想要凭借着自己的力量，要去追求永无止境的学问。
追求学问：但在传道书看来
第二个看法：多烦恼（传道书一16~18）：16我心里议论说：“我得了大智慧，胜过我以前在耶路撒冷的众人，而且我心中多经历智慧和知识的事。”17我又专心察明智慧、狂妄和愚昧，乃知这也是捕风。 18 因为多有智慧，就多有愁烦；加增知识的，就加增忧伤。举例：像学化学的，对甲苯或ＤＭＦ会害怕，学电的人对电磁波也会特别的注意，学医的对细菌及病毒也特别敏感，
当我们懂得的越多的时候，会越烦恼。有时候因为我们的知识，让我们会发现这个东西不能吃，那个水不能喝，外面空气太脏了，不能出去，搞到最后也许觉得这个地球不能住了。有时候知识胜过信心的时候，你会有很多事情不敢做，比如像坐飞机有人敢坐，有人担心而不敢坐，有时我们看看我们四周的人，他不见得比我们懂得多，但你会发现他们过得比我们还快乐，还健康。
追求学问：但在传道书看来
第三个看法：未必好（传道书九11）：我又转念，见日光之下，快跑的未必能赢；力战的未必得胜；智慧的未必得粮食，明哲的未必得资财，灵巧的未必得喜悦；所临到众人的，是在乎当时的机会。
很多人都认为努力追求学问，让自己更聪明更有机会胜出，但是不是每一个人都可以如愿以偿，达到自己所想要的。同样的，把自己有限的读书时间另外拨出时间奉献给神，不见得没有机会胜出，因为所在乎的是当时神所赐的机会。举例：今年(100年)年初有举办公家机关的初等考试，结果众多的报考人中有12名博士毕业全都落榜，正如智慧的未必得粮食，未必得到这个铁饭碗。
２．追求钱财：钱财每个人喜爱，都想要追求更多的财富，但我们知道“君子爱财，取之有道”要合乎中道，合乎正道，如果过份追求钱财，而忽略了信仰，忽略了家庭，忽略了健康，那是得不偿失的。所以我们看传道书如何看待追求钱财
追求钱财：但在传道书看来有４个看法
一．第一个看法：太劳碌（传道书四5~8）：5愚昧人抱着手，吃自己的肉。 6节满了一把，得享安静，强如满了两把，劳碌捕风。有人常说一句话年轻的时候努力加班，拼命兼差，交际应酬，用自己的身体健康换取金钱；等到真的赚到了财富，自己的身体也弄坏了，这时候要把所赚的钱拿来买药吃，自己不断的劳碌什么都没得到，难道不是劳碌捕风吗？ 7节我又转念，见日光之下有一件虚空的事：8节有人孤单无二，无子无兄，竟劳碌不息，眼目也不以钱财为足。他说：“我劳劳碌碌，刻苦自己，不享福乐，到底是为谁呢？”这也是虚空，是极重的劳苦。这在我们平时周遭的朋友们，也会看到有些人不停的上班赚钱，也不给自己和家人一起享乐的时间，成为一个赚钱的机器。真的为谁辛苦，为谁忙呢？如果这般劳劳碌碌不能使自己得到喜乐，何不停下脚步，安静的坐在会堂，聆听圣经的话语享受平静安稳喜乐。
追求钱财：但在传道书看来
二．第二个看法：不知足（传道书五10~12）: 10贪爱银子的，不因得银子知足；贪爱丰富的，也不因得利益知足。这也是虚空。我们看社会上很多富豪会因为自己很多钱而说够了吗?举例：曾经在很多年前电视新闻有报导一个在高雄煮牛肉面的厨师，在煮牛肉面的时候煮到一半知道自己中乐透，结果手在抖煮不下去，于是就放下煮面的工具，与店里的客人握手道别。马上辞职去过着他梦寐以求的有钱人生活，他得到七亿的金额是他辛苦一辈子也赚不到的（一次到位），现在一次通通给他，照理说，他好好的过生活，一生行善助人，这笔钱是花不完的，但是他不会因此而满足，将这些钱再拿去投资加油站，及随便挥霍，尽情的享受，结果经过一年多就猝死。 11货物增添，吃的人也增添，物主得什么益处呢？不过眼看而已。 12劳碌的人不拘吃多吃少，睡得香甜；富足人的丰满，却不容他睡觉。
追求钱财：但在传道书看来
三．第三个看法：归别人（传道书二18~21）：18节我恨恶一切的劳碌，就是我在日光之下的劳碌，因为我得来的必留给我以后的人。 19节 那人是智慧是愚昧，谁能知道？他竟要管理我劳碌所得的，就是我在日光之下用智慧所得的。这也是虚空。 20节故此，我转想我在日光之下所劳碌的一切工作，心便绝望。不管你是智慧得来或是幸运得来或是不法得来，最后离开了世上，剩下的也带不走，至于如何处理，谁要来花这些都不是你来决定的。
追求钱财：但在传道书看来
四．第四个看法：带不回（传道书五13~15）：13我见日光之下，有一宗大祸患：就是财主积存资财，反害自己。 14节因遭遇祸患，这些资财就消灭；那人若生了儿子，手里也一无所有。 15节他怎样从母胎赤身而来，也必照样赤身而去；他所劳碌得来的，手中分毫不能带去。
中乐透的牛肉面的厨师,难道不是最好的人生写照吗？ （不会因为有了七亿而知足，他花不完的也是留给别人，用不完的也是带不走）。工作穏定，收入穏定就是神的祝福了让我们得了大利。解释：40万元美金一次给？一仟分２０年给？那一个对我们有利呢？
人的角度，神的角度。比如说：（保守估计，取平均值）如果一个家庭一年2万元美金，稳定２０年也有40万元美金………
３．追求奢华宴乐：传道书如何看待追求奢华宴乐呢？
一．是虚空（传道书二１）：我心里说：“来吧！我以喜乐试试你，你好享福。”谁知，这也是虚空。例：奢华宴乐是世人所喜爱的，挥霍无度，没有节制。
二．不满足（传道书一８）：8节万事令人厌烦（注：或作“万物满有困乏”），人不能说尽。眼看，看不饱；耳听，听不足。 9节已有的事，后必再有；已行的事，后必再行。日光之下，并无新事。
提摩太前书六6 然而，敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了7 因为我们没有带什么到世上来，也不能带什么去，8只要有衣有食，就当知足。 。
二．书中的指示以为美的事
１．健康（传道书五18~19）：18我所见为善为美的，就是人在神赐他一生的日子吃喝，享受日光之下劳碌得来的好处，因为这是他的分。 19节神赐人资财丰富，使他能以吃用，能取自己的分，在他劳碌中喜乐，这乃是神的恩赐。 。 。有人身体不好禁不起劳碌，或者没有食欲，所以可以劳碌又可以吃的下就是健康了。我们自己想一想，我们每天这么辛苦的工作，下班后可以和自己心爱的人快快乐乐，健健康康的享用一顿饭，就是很大的幸福了。
一．在劳碌中吃喝：传道书二24人莫强如吃喝，且在劳碌中享福，我看这也是出于神的手。传道书三13 并且人人吃喝，在他一切劳碌中享福，这也是神的恩赐。我们每天有工作在忙碌，在忙完一天之后享受劳碌所得的，这是神所喜悦的。而不是世人所说的，如果我们有几仟万，那我们就可以整天不用工作，到处游山玩水，尽情的享乐，这跟刚刚所说的中奖的牛肉面厨师，有什么两样呢？你会羡慕他刚开始的中奖吗？你会接受他这样的结局吗？所以整天不用工作，到处游山玩水，尽情的享乐，这不是神所喜悦的。
二．相反的，在黑暗；烦恼；病患；呕气中吃喝乃属不幸（传道书五17）。比如：一顿美食，有生鱼片，鲍鱼，乌鱼子，牛肉，羊肉，结果却是把这些放在没有灯的黑漆漆的房间里吃，眼睛看不到，一定会没有食欲，肉眼没有看到尚且没有食欲了，何况心眼没有光，心眼处在黑暗中，会有食欲吗？我们生命中没有神的光照耀，我们的心眼是看不到的，这样的吃喝会快乐吗？
２．乐在工作（传道书三22前半段）第22节故此，我见人莫强如在他经营的事上喜乐，因为这是他的分。每个人在自己的工作岗位上认真工作，从工作中得到成就感，在工作中荣耀主的名，这是主所喜悦的。这跟刚才所提到的日夜不停的上班，加班不同，同样是努力工作乐在工作，
前面所提到的是没有节制的，工作是他的唯一，他因为工作而占用了与神亲近的时间。这里说的是乐在工作是为了报答主恩，荣耀主的名，不会为了工作而忽略了与神亲近，反而在工作中表现出基督的形像。他的态度是：
一．人生以服务为目的（参考：马可福音十42~45）可十43只是在你们中间，不是这样。你们中间，谁愿为大，就必作你们的用人；44在你们中间，谁愿为首，就必作众人的仆人。 45因为人子来，并不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，并且要舍命作多人的赎价。 ”
二．一切都是为主（罗马书十四7~9）7节我们没有一个人为自己活，也没有一个人为自己死。 8节我们若活着，是为主而活；若死了，是为主而死。所以我们或活或死，总是主的人。 9节因此基督死了，又活了，为要作死人并活人的主。今天我们不管是从事什么工作当我们表明我们是基督徒时，别人都会注意我们的行为，做的好是让主得荣耀，做不好只会让主蒙羞。
３．行善（传道书三12） 我知道世人，莫强如终身喜乐行善。
一．属肉：赒济人。像多加（使徒行传九36）在约帕有一个女徒，名叫大比大，翻希腊话就是多加（注：就是“羚羊”的意思）。她广行善事，多施赒济。有些人虽然有能力，但不一定能做得出来。能做得出来，是有福气的。
二．属灵：传福音（传道书十一6~7）。像保罗（哥林多前书九22～23）22向软弱的人，我就作软弱的人，为要得软弱的人；向什么样的人，我就作什么样的人。无论如何总要救些人。 23节凡我所行的，都是为福音的缘故，为要与人同得这福音的好处。
雅各书二13 因为那不怜悯人的，也要受无怜悯的审判，怜悯原是向审判夸胜。我们在世不管是属肉的行善或是属灵的行善，在当下看来好像是付出，事实上在将来审判台前，对自己的受益最大。
４．相爱（传道书九9）在你一生虚空的年日，就是神赐你在日光之下虚空的年日，当同你所爱的妻快活度日，因为那是你生前在日光之下劳碌的事上所得的分。人生在世，不如意的事十之八九，苦多于乐，所以
一．人活多年，就当快乐多年（传道书十一８）要珍惜彼此在一起的时候
二．黑暗的日子将到（灾难，迫害，年老衰败），更当好好相爱（传道书九10）凡你手所当做的事，要尽力去做，因为在你所必去的阴间，没有工作，没有谋算，没有知识，也没有智慧。
５．敬神（传道书十二13）这些事都已听见了，总意就是敬畏神，谨守他的诫命，这是人所当尽的本分（注：或作“这是众人的本分” ）。
一．祂是造物主：传道书十二1 你趁着年幼，衰败的日子尚未来到，就是你所说“我毫无喜乐”的那些年日未曾临近之先，当记念造你的主！罗马书一20 自从造天地以来，神的永能和神性是明明可知的，虽是眼不能见，但借着所造之物就可以晓得，叫人无可推诿。 。 。天地万物都是祂所造，我们在整个宇宙天地之间，是很渺小的，渺小到就有如大海中的一小汤匙，我们大部份的人都有坐过飞机的经验，当飞机升空离地面越来越远的时候，你会发现人，车子，房子变得越来越小，直到完全看不到，此时你会感觉到人在宇宙中是多么微小，小到可能要用显微镜才看得到， 神依然看顾我们，垂听我们如此卑微的人的祷告，我们在日常生活中，都要感念神的创造，保留我们的生命，比如我们在公司上班，有时我们尚且会在乎公司里主管的想法，难道我们不用在乎创造宇宙万物，至高至大，无所不能的神吗？祂的命令我们岂敢违背呢？
二．祂是拯救主：（诗篇一四五篇18~20）18节凡求告耶和华的，就是诚心求告他的，耶和华便与他们相近。 19节敬畏他的，他必成就他们的心愿，也必听他们的呼求，拯救他们。 20节耶和华保护一切爱他的人，却要灭绝一切的恶人。
三．祂是审判主（传道书十二14）因为人所做的事，连一切隐藏的事，无论是善是恶，神都必审问。所以我们不论做什么事，都要对得起神，如果我们做的这件事，是怕别人知道的，那就不要做。因为 神一定知道。
结论：如果得意外之财的煮牛肉面的厨师能去做到以上传道书以为美的事就如（健康，乐在工作，行善，相爱，敬拜真神）我想也不会因为得到意外之财一年多就遭此猝死，人生不长，当把机会，多作荣神益人的事，过一个善美的人生。同样的我们拥有２仟万，３仟万的身价只是分２０年，３０年，４０年分摊给我们，我们也要避免以上中奖厨师所做的事，要努力去做传道书中以为美的事。
如果得到一切世人以为美的事，却失去了圣经传道书以为美的事…..(马太福音十六26) 人若赚得全世界，赔上自己的生命，有什么益处呢？人还能拿什么换生命呢？
如果做到一切圣经以为美的事，却失去了世人以为美的事，也不会遗憾（提摩太后书四７~8）7那美好的仗我已经打过了；当跑的路我已经跑尽了；所信的道我已经守住了。 8节从此以后，有公义的冠冕为我存留，就是按着公义审判的主到了那日要赐给我的；不但赐给我，也赐给凡爱慕他显现的人。
