The Sound of an A

A story tells of a man who came to visit his old friend, a music teacher. As the man came in, he asked, "What's the good news today?" The old teacher was silent for a moment, but then he stood up and walked across the room. He picked up a small hammer and struck a tuning fork. As the note sounded throughout the room, he said, "That is the sound of an A. It is an A today; it was an A five thousand years ago, and it will be an A ten thousand years from now.” Then he added, “The soprano upstairs sings off-key, the tenor across the hall falls flat on his high notes, and the piano downstairs is out of tune." He struck the note again and said, "That is an A, my friend, and that's the good news for today!"

You could say that the whole world is out of tune. However, it is good to know that, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). That is the good news today! The world will surely let you down, but Jesus will always be the One you can count on!

In recent months, I have tried to turn your mind’s attention and heart’s affection to Jesus through the sermon series MEET JESUS. This journey through the Gospel of John with Jesus has been a joy! This coming Sunday I will share a Stand Alone Sermon and then on February 1 we will begin a new series—Christ Is Lord. We will look at Jesus through the writings of the Apostle Paul in Colossians. This is a sequel to our fall series as we continue our focus on Jesus. Let’s keep our eyes on Jesus!

Devotedly yours,
Pastor Ron
