傳道書6:3-6



6:3 人若生一百個兒子,活許多歲數,以致他的年日甚多,心裡卻不得滿享福樂,又不得埋葬;據我說,那不到期而落的胎比他倒好。
6:4
因為虛虛而來,暗暗而去,名字被黑暗遮蔽,
6:5
並且沒有見過天日,也毫無知覺;這胎,比那人倒享安息。
6:6
那人雖然活千年,再活千年,卻不享福,眾人豈不都歸一個地方去嗎?

 3 A man may have a hundred children and live many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he cannot enjoy his prosperity and does not receive proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he. 4 It comes without meaning, it departs in darkness, and in darkness its name is shrouded. 5 Though it never saw the sun or knew anything, it has more rest than does that man— 6 even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?

    傳道者在這裡說到長壽不見的是好事,若是活的不愉快,沒有感受到任何的福份,卻要一直活下去,活到什麼都沒有意義,即使是千年、萬年的壽命又怎麼樣呢?倒不如像胎兒還沒生出來就過去了,不是更好嗎?

    曾經有位住在安養院九十多歲的老姐妹,對探訪的牧師說,求上帝讓她快快的回天家,她覺得活到這個年紀是上帝的降禍,不是賜福,她覺得人生越來越沒有意義!

    雖然許多人都求長壽,但是長壽真的好嗎?但不如讓我們活的精彩有意義!那如何活的精彩有意義呢?就是得永生!就是享受到上帝的同在,耶穌基督來就是要我們得著永生!讓我們享受在地如天的生命,你得著了嗎?
