Nothing new under the sun


If we look at the past, we will see that the man remains the same as the old ways.

Although it has its high intellectual level and has developed technologies surprising, still acting like the old ones, seek power, fame, riches, and to achieve these things, fight to death against each other,
the same as before, nation against nation, and in homes, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, and so on.
The more people the world has, the more divisions there are more wars, more hunger, more misery,

Ecclesiastes 1

2
2 Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth, vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!
3
3 What profit has man from all the labor which he toils at under the sun?
4
One generation passes and another comes, but the world forever stays.
5
The sun rises and the sun goes down; then it presses on to the place where it rises.
6
Blowing now toward the south, then toward the north, the wind turns again and again, resuming its rounds.
7
All rivers go to the sea, yet never does the sea become full. To the place where they go, the rivers keep on going.
8
4 All speech is labored; there is nothing man can say. The eye is not satisfied with seeing nor is the ear filled with hearing.
9
What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun.
10
Even the thing of which we say, "See, this is new!" has already existed in the ages that preceded us.


But Jesus came, not to change the world, not to change; the earth, sun, rivers and winds, came to take us to our true place, where they belong and for which we were created.

The things he did and said Jesus talks about a place that has no boundaries, our planet is very limited in contrast, the same as men, a generation dies and another is born.
The resurrection of Jesus speaks to us, not to return to live in the same way, because nothing would change.

The resurrection of Jesus, is for an eternal life, without wars, without deaths, without hunger, without growing old, without sadness or boredom, without pain - it makes sense.
live forever, fighting and suffering, all these calamities would be meaningless.

The man always find justifications for waging war and killing, it is his nature, and can not change, it is impossible for man,
For this reason, the man must die to resurrect to eternal life, the flesh nor the blood can not resurrect the flesh and blood is dust.

However, the resurrection and the life is Jesus, the way, the truth and the life, is Jesus, all these things know, but still we can not digest, for our lack of faith in the word of God, it is difficult But any effort is too little for what it is worth.


LUKE 9

.

7
4 Herod the tetrarch 5 heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed because some were saying, "John has been raised from the dead";
8
others were saying, "Elijah has appeared"; still others, "One of the ancient prophets has arisen."
9
6 But Herod said, "John I beheaded. Who then is this about whom I hear such things?" And he kept trying to see him. ( but he did not )


Words of King David.
We are aliens and pilgrims in front of God, as were our parents, our days on earth pass like a shadow, without hope.
