Hallelujah!

Here’s my Friday post early…not to make up for all the late ones, but Jill and I are taking Hannah to visit a few colleges on Friday and I’ll be away from my laptop most of the day.

Here is a link to a video you need to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYI_aOyCn9Y
I sent it out to several people, but decided to put it here too. Please watch it…yeah, it’s cute and if you listened to any music in the 70’s & 80’s you’ll love it…but it has a driving point to it and begs the question, “What would people hear if a stethoscope were held to your heart? Yeah, I know that is silly…makes a cute video…but wait just a minute. You believe the text don’t you? “And the mystery is that Christ lives in you, and he is your hope of sharing in God’s glory” (Colossians 1:27b). Well, if Christ does live in us, shouldn’t that change the tune in our hearts? Of course it should! In fact, I really think if Christ lives in us, if he is our hope of sharing in God’s glory, then no one should need a stethoscope to hear Handel’s Messiah ringing from our hearts…it ought to be screaming so loud that others would look at us blocks away wondering what that music is. So back to my question, with or without a stethoscope, what tune do people hear coming from your heart?
