Is Everything Meaningless? John's Response to Ecclesiastes (Part 5)

Why does John end much like Ecclesiastes? What point is he attempting to get across? When we examine the gospel of John we find there are two different worlds; a higher world and a lower world. For instance in John 3:12 Jesus tells Nicodimus, "If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? Likewise in 8:23 Jesus states, "I am from above, you are from below; you are of this world, I am not of this world." These two different realms represent two different modes of knowing. The lower world is the world of tangiable experience. It's the world we can see, taste, touch and hear. In the words of Ecclesiastes, it's the world "under the sun." The higher world, on the other hand, is the world outside the limits of Ecclesiastes empirical knowledge. It's the reallity to which the writer of that book only briefly alludes. John on the other hand, makes this higher world the very foundation of his story. According to John the higher world, that which is above the sun has come to man. In John 1:1-18, John tells, "In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God and the Logos was God. He was with God in the beginning... And the Logos became flesh and dwelt among us... No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is the bosom of the Father, He has made Him Known." John, like Ecclesiates, focus' attention on seeing and believing; like the former book He expresses the importance of a tangiable witness. Like Ecclesiastes John recognizes the source of all things is God. But unlike Ecclesiastes, John testifies that the hope, the purpose, the point, the Logos of the higher world has entered thetangiable world and made Himself known to man.
