THE MASTER MUSICIAN

Mark 5:1-15

When Jesus takes command he brings peace. The storms must cease—storms of passion and temper. The prisoner is set free. His chains are broken—chains of selfishness and anxiety. Jesus’ clear voice rings out, “Peace, be still,” and there’s a great calm. Like the sweet cadences of music runs the phrase through the Book, “fear not.” Let us put Jesus in command, and obey him fully, and we shall know an inner quiet, greater even than the word “peace” expresses.

1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

KEEPING IN TUNE

Mark 4:35-41

Rhythm of sound is music. Rhythm of color is beauty. Rhythm of action is peace and power. Peace within, deep as the sea, still as the stars, fragrant as locust blossoms in May, as undisturbable as the everlasting hills. Jesus made peace by the Cross. We find peace as we stay in full rhythmic touch with him. Let’s keep in step with Jesus. Then we shall know the inner music of peace, and others will feel the fragrant touch of power.

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

RIVAL GARDENERS

Matthew 13:24-30

Evil, like weeds, grows rank and fast without cultivation, we think. But it isn’t so. There’s another gardener, a special, unseen gardener for evil. He sows, and waters, and cultivates, and tries to weed out the good. He’s an old hand at gardening. He stays up nights, watching for chances. We must fight him. The best way is to get our crop in first; weed and work it sleeplessly. The best work in this garden is done down on your knees.

John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

GARDENS AND GARDENERS

1Peter 2:1-5; 2Peter 3:14-18

The Bible is a garden book. There’s one at the beginning, a better one at the end, and the Gethsemane garden in between. Everyman should be a gardener, and his life the garden. There’s sowing and sunshine, dew- fall and rain, and special watering in dry spells. Then there’s weeding, watching for hurtful insects, and pruning, a cutting back to get better fruit. Let’s be good gardeners, with the Man of Gethsemane to help.

Galatians 5:16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

KEEP OPEN TO THE BEST

Luke 2:40-52

Jesus was natural in boyhood as he was in manhood. He ate, and slept, and worked. He companioned with others, read in the Bible he had, aimed to live it out, got alone on his knees, obeyed his mother, dreamed of the future. He kept open to the best—body, mind, spirit—in a simple boy-way. So he grew. So we, too, shall grow in vigor and gentleness and strength of life, as he has sway.
