GOSPEL NUGGET #329

The Piano Man And The Lord Jesus

In Billy Joel's hit song, The Piano Man, he portrays himself as the piano man serenading serenity, solace and sympathy into people's hearts. People from all walks of life come to him, pouring out their heartaches, disappointments and emptiness to him.

Somehow, at least for a night, because of him, they are able to shrug and shake off the drag in their lives for a while.

This somehow illustrates the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Spiritually speaking, sin has turned off the melody and the music in people's lives. Men and women everywhere live in the cacophony, noise and disharmony of this world that has gone out of tune from God.

We see people with bleeding hearts and broken lives badly needing to hear a song from heaven. We have a greater "Piano Man" in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Come to Him in repentance and faith, trusting in what He did on the cross for salvation, and hear for yourself the soothing "songs of deliverance (Psalm 32:7)" and salvation from the "Piano Man" Himself.
