Episode notes
Matt unpacks the writings of "Qoheleth" in Ecclesiastes 5 and 6, which reveals that humans are vulnerable in three key ways: fear of God, fear of the betrayal of others, and fear of our emotions betraying us. Matt explains however, through the text, that the only way to get past such fears is to face them head on, as Jesus ultimately exemplified by deciding to face death and die for our sins. If we follow Jesus, and "carry our cross" as He did, all the while embracing our suffering and vulnerability, then despite our lives being difficult, we will be joyful. And greater than that, we will have eternal life in Him.
