A SPIRITUAL SYMPHONY
“I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one.” -JOHN 17:23
When
a symphony performs, each musician has something different to
contribute. The title of each piece of music is the same, but there are
many different parts that make up that one piece. A musician may be an
extremely talented soloist, but playing in harmony with others requires a
great deal of practice, preparation and group rehearsal. It also
requires each musician to submit to the direction of the conductor. If
that means playing “second fiddle” then so be it. Working together takes
time and patience – two things that most people do not have an
abundance of.
I trust you can see that even in this simple
illustration, pride, egotism, and an unwillingness to work with others
disqualifies even the greatest musicians from becoming viable members of
a symphony. Christ, the Master Conductor, seeks a spiritual harmony
among all His disciples: “that they all may be one… that they also may
be one in Us” (John 17:21).
