#164 - Kyle Thompson // A Time to Be Born, and a Time to Die

The Daily Blade: Joby Martin & Kyle Thompson

This week we explore Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, reflecting on God's providence through life's changing seasons and our responsibility to steward our time well.
• Ecclesiastes, traditionally attributed to King Solomon, was written as a reflection on his life lessons
• "For everything there is a season" emphasizes God's sovereignty applicable in all of life's phases
• The verse "a time to be born and a time to die" demonstrates God's lordship over life and death
• Our lives are not random but purposefully designed within God's sovereign will
• We are responsible to "own the dash"—the time between birth and death on our tombstones
• Psalm 139:16 reminds us God knew our days before we existed
• Jesus' conversation with Martha (John 11:24-27) gives believers hope beyond physical death
• For Christians, death is not the end but the beginning of everlasting life
If you want everlasting life, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Christ. If you have never done so, let today be the day—I compel you to come in.
