Worship : an activity Under-the-Sun or In-the-Son - Ecclesiastes 5:1-7

Abstract

Worship is the most intense and most absorbing activity of man under the sun. Yet it is also a transforming and life-changing experience man can know. As such, worship is the holiest of human activities and engagements of mankind under the sun. But life under the sun is marked by broken promises and empty words. Under the circumstances of our lives here on earth, a careful consideration of how we engage in the holy act of worship is required: are we worshiping in-the- Son, Jesus Christ, or are we worshiping in the flesh, under-the-sun? What would characterize the kind of worship God accepts and approves? The answers to these questions lie in the character of God Himself. Jesus tells us that God is spirit and, therefore, worshiping God is a spiritual activity.
