Ecclesiastes is about two themes:  the importance of wisdom and the danger of folly.  In chapter 10, Solomon asks and answers the obvious question, “What makes one wise and one foolish?”  He provides four examples to validate his conclusion.  Key words for this study:  “fool” and “sinister.”  As you prepare for this chapter, ask yourself this question:  “What can people learn about me simply by listening to my talk?” 

Colossians 2:16-17 and Hebrews 10:1 are interesting passages for the believer.  Both passages speak that what the Jews had with the Law were merely shadows of what we have in Christ today.  Okay, we know this, but what does it practically mean?  We are going to talk about how the Jews celebrated their salvation and how their practice should be a “model” for how we celebrate today.  It’s a good way to get focused for Thanksgiving, and a good way for us to be reminded that what we have “in Christ” is far better than what our spiritual ancestors had.  So, where’s the celebration?
