Luke 7-8, Ecclesiastes 4

Episode Summary

Jesus continues to exhibit his power over illness, demons, death, and over Creation. Those witness his power, including the disciples who are with him daily, continue to be awestruck by what they see. Make no mistake: the people in Jesus’ day were not simpletons who would simply believe anything. Like you and I, they knew that what Jesus was doing seemed impossible, and they all had trouble wrapping their minds around it. Later in Ecclesiastes King Solomon envies the dead, who no longer have to bear the burdens of oppression, loneliness and evil at the hands wicked men. Without the Lord, these things seem to serve no purpose.
