is a humanly incurable disease that ultimately leads to death

Page 9: Cure to boredom

8 All things are wearisome,more than one can say.

The eye never has enough of seeing,

nor the ear its fill of hearing.

Page 10: Cure to boredom

9 What has been will be again,what has been done will be

done again;there is nothing new under

the sun.

Page 11: Cure to boredom

10 Is there anything of which one can say,

“Look! This is something new”?

It was here already, long ago;it was here before our time.

John 4:27-38

Page 14: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-3827 Just then his disciples

returned and were surprised to find him

talking with a woman.

Page 15: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-38But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why

are you talking with her?”

Page 16: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-3828 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back

to the town and said to the people,

Page 17: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-3829 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever

did. Could this be the Christ?”

Page 18: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-3830 They came out of the

town and made their way toward him.

Page 19: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-3831 Meanwhile his disciples

urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

Page 20: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-3832 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you

know nothing about.”

Like drug addicts, Christians are always obsessed with finding the next “high”.

Page 26: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-3833 Then his disciples said

to each other, “Could someone have brought

him food?”

Page 27: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-3834 “My food,” said

Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to

finish his work.

Page 28: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-3835 Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then

the harvest’?

Page 29: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-38I tell you, open your eyes

and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

Page 30: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-3836 Even now the reaper draws his wages, even

now he harvests the crop for eternal life,

Page 31: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-38so that the sower and the

reaper may be glad together.

Page 32: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-3837 Thus the saying ‘One

sows and another reaps’ is true. 38 I sent you to

reap what you have not worked for.

Page 33: Cure to boredom

John 4:27-38Others have done the

hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of

their labor.”
