Remember your Creator in the Days of your Youth

Rev. Benjamin Wontrop's sermon on Ecclesiastes 12:1–8 (with 11:7–10) issues a solemn, Christ-centred call to remember the Creator while the opportunity remains.Solomon's vivid portrait of advancing age—darkened lights, trembling keepers, failing grinders, dimmed eyes, and the final return of dust to earth—depicts the increasing misery of life under the curse (WSC 19). Physical decline and eschatological shadows of judgment do not automatically drive sinners to God; hardened habits and accumulated burdens make repentance harder. Youth is therefore a strategic season of relative ease, mental sharpness, fewer entanglements, and longer years of service.Remembering the Creator means acknowledging the debt of existence and, above all, turning to Him through Christ: seeing personal sin, trusting Christ's perfect life, atoning death, and resurrection, and growing in the fear of God by the means of grace. Christ's own obscure years of growth in wisdom and favour (Luke 2) model this path. Those who sought God early rejoice in sustaining grace; those who wasted youth must still repent, for God restores. Older believers are called to model and encourage the young. Godliness brings present peace and everlasting reward. Seek the Lord now.
