The LifeWay Leader Guide concludes the lesson “What’s Life All About?” with a focus on Jesus Christ as the way of salvation (John 14:6). This is important since living life without God is futile, but is salvation the key need of your class members?If so, then go that direction, but an alternative might be that believing members are captive to the ways of this world. Paul warns against this in Col 2:8, “Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elemental forces of the world, and not based on Christ.” What Bible teaching should you conclude your lesson with if this is the case? How about doing what Paul says in 2 Cor 10:3-5? Could you suggest a passage from Ephesians? Any others?

I'll probably close with a discussion of another man who was reflecting on both his life and death, but had a different perspective based on the way he lived. Paul is prison, not knowing whether or not he was about to be executed wrote “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:21.
We may discuss why Solomon was afraid of death while Paul considered it gain, or profitable.
Thanks for the site, it has been a blessing!

Jeff,
You made a great choice. At the start of this week, I asked about the goal of life. I think you hit the nail on the head.
