Commenting on the conclusion of Ecclesiastes, Jeffrey Meyers says:
“We need to stop compartmentalizing the world. God’s covenant with us is his covenant in Christ with all creation [Col 1:18-23]. In this biblical context, one shouldn’t even raise an eyebrow that Solomon sings the praises of work, wife, feasting, and drinking wine. If that seems too physical, worldly, or unspiritual, maybe it is time for us to get a grip on what the Bible says is truly spiritual.” (Table in the Mist, p205)
Doug Wilson calls it "appalling" to think that all we want for Christmas is a glass of lukewarm water with Jesus!
Feast to the glory of God, with grateful hearts.
