Vanity

I was talking with a friend of mine from Denver about life in general. He's a 35 yr old single, going to seminary, but has gone through life a little more thna most of us. And what did he say? Vanity, Vanity, everything is vanity. The more and more you experience life, the more and more you realize that any experience has an end, and will leave you wanting more, and thereby being unfulfilling. I have realized more and more that this is true. That while some efforts will not lose their luster for a while, that everything loses their luster that is here on this earth. Cars, houses, etc, etc...heck, even in my house of 5 years I am starting to get bored with it.

So what else is left? ministry? What will satisfy? Christ? Yes, but in what way? It's pretty general to say Christ satisfies, but I don't know what that means. Believe in Christ and He will satisfy? Then why is it that I still feel unfulfilled? Is this wrong? And if not, then does that mean that Christ does not satisfy? Or maybe that satisfaction doesn't mean what I think it means?
