A Virtuoso Ignored
Since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen. Romans 1:20
A man wearing jeans, a T-shirt, and a baseball cap positioned himself against a wall beside a trash can at the LEnfant Plaza station in Washington, DC. He pulled out a violin and began to play. In the next 43 minutes, as he performed six classical pieces, 1,097 people passed by, ignoring him.
No one knew it, but the man playing outside the Metro was Joshua Bell, one of the finest classical musicians in the world, playing some of the most elegant music ever written on a $3.5 million Stradivarius. But no crowd gathered for the virtuoso. It was a strange feeling, that people were actually . . . ignoring me, said Bell.
God also knows what it feels like to be ignored. The apostle Paul said that God has sovereignly planted evidence of His existence in the very nature of man. And creation delivers an unmistakable message about His creativity, beauty, power, and character. Although God has revealed His majesty, many refuse to acknowledge and thank Him. But God will hold everyone responsible for ignoring who He is and what He has revealed: They are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful (Rom. 1:20-21).
Let us acknowledge and thank the Virtuoso of heaven, who has wonderfully revealed Himself to us.
The treasures of the crystal snows,
And all the wonders nature shows,
Speak of a mighty Makers hand
That all in love and wisdom planned. Bosch
All creation is an outstretched finger pointing toward God.
Bible in One Year: Luke 1924; Proverbs 29:1-7
