Why do you suppose the author of Ecclesiastes would say the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth (7:1)? I know that depression can drive you to a death wish, but is that all there is to this statement?
The day of one’s death is better than the day of ones birth from the simple fact that on the day of our death we are about to see God. What a glory fills our minds and hearts at the thought of seeing face to face him who loves us and created us.
