One of the central ideas I have about God is that He delights to reveal Himself to humanity. As finite beings, we struggle to have a vision of an infinite God, and so He helps us by revealing Himself one piece at a time in a wide variety of ways.
I thought of this not long ago while I was tuning a piano. When you take the cover off of a piano, you reveal all of the inner workings of its mechanisms and materials. Strings, hammers, levers, nuts and bolts all play a part the process of producing the tone of a piano, but in the end it is the string that “sings”. The lowest notes on a piano consist of one very thickly wrapped string per note. Then there is a range of notes that produce their tones by the vibration of two strings. The remaining half of the piano consists of notes that are produced by the vibration of three strings that are to be tuned to the exact same frequency. When that occurs, something very special happens.
Three strings that vibrate in perfect unison have the effect of magnifying each other’s sound. This makes the note have a rich and clear tone that is pleasing to the ear. If there is any discrepancy between the frequencies, an unpleasing distortion of the pitch results, and here is the lesson.
Scripture reveals God as being a tri-unity, one God in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. All three are in perfect unison with each other, each one magnifying the other. The Father honors the Son, the Son brings glory to the Father, the Spirit glorifies the Father and the Son, pointing men and women to their wise creator (see John 17).
Are you “in tune” with God? Do you ever find yourself in disharmony with Him? God wants to be in perfect harmony with His creation, so much that He was willing to become part of His creation and do everything necessary to offer forgiveness and restoration to those who are far from Him. God demonstrated His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Jesus died for us.
You can ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and bring you in tune with Him today! It is a free offer that He extends to all who would believe in Him and trust in Him to save them!
