The Jesus Music

Wednesday. Mark 7: 31-37.

Some things can’t be hid. Jesus couldn’t be. Music can’t. The sweet peace of God in the heart can’t be hushed up. The face tells it — the quiet eye, the glad smile, the gentle word. The step has a spring to it. The hand does its work difTerently. And those we’re touching know it, too. Sometimes it irritates them; the inner smothered conscience hurts. This is the chiefest plan for winning men to Jesus — having his peace rule our hearts.
