From Gary... In unison

I have never seen the likes of this before.  Playing this instrument must be very difficult to do, as each individuals movement would affect the stability of the whole.  Three people playing one instrument- interesting.  Everything (and everybody) would have to do everything "just right" in order for this to work!!!  Read on, to see where I am going to take this...

Romans, Chapter 8

 16  The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;  17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.  18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us. 19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope  21 that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.  22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.  23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.  24 For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?  25 But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.  26 In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.  27 He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God. 

  28  We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.  29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.  30 Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified. 

  31  What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 

God make everything, and it was "very good" (Gen. 1:31). Sin enters the world and mucks up God's creation. God makes things all right again by creating a new heaven, Earth and man.  It may not look like it now, but it WILL happen!!! Exactly how this will happen is beyond my human comprehension, but since verse 28 (above) is in my Bible, I know that it WILL!!!  If a three-player violin seems complicated, just imagine the complexities of replacing a fouled up world with a new creation.  If you were to put THAT TO MUSIC- imagine the harmonies, the intricacies, the tempo and the overwhelming wonder of it all!!!  And, Oh, yes, HE is going to do all this - BECAUSE HE LOVES US AND WANTS TO RESTORE FELLOWSHIP WITH US FOR ETERNITY!!!
