“He [Jesus] is familiar with our sufferings. The longer I walk with Christ-it’s the humanity of Christ that brings more and more comfort to my soul. There’s a term in music called sympathetic resonance. If you had 2 pianos on stage and you were to hit middle C on one of the pianos, that note would resound just ever so slightly in the other piano, the same note would respond to it.
May I remind you when you go through difficult times in this life and when your heart is broken, and you’re weeping and you hurt, KNOW that there is a MAN in Heaven who’s instrument is like yours-and when you feel that hurt, there is a resonance that comes from Him. He IS our sympathetic resonance. What an incredible picture! He is fully human and second He is fully God.”
That is SUCH a beautiful picture to me. It’s from a sermon by a man named David Platt from the Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, AL during a Secret Church (which you can find more info about on their webpage, www.brookhills.org, as to what “Secret Church” is). I have been listening to his sermons lately and have been continually blown away. This particular sermon is about the Cross of Christ and I would try to describe it…but trying to describe it in a blog does not do it justice. Anyway I am continually in awe when I think of the Blood of Christ. And how PRECIOUS is the blood. This particular quote hit me and has stuck with me since I heard it. That Jesus IS in heaven and just as he says Jesus is our sympathetic resonance. I suppose since that is sort of what I’m learning I thought I would share.
