Today we learned about cross-cultural communication. At the end of class we were shown a concert video from Steven Curtis Chapman. The video centered around the 5 martyred missionaries to the Waodani Indians and the resulting ministry among the Waodani. It was a picture of love and sacrifice, but it was also an amazing picture of grace.
The very last song was introduced by Steven as the closest thing to what will happen in heaven that he could imagine. He sang in English, exalting and worshiping God, and beside him, in another language and even another melody sang a Waodani man. Both sang songs of worship.
My heart was pulled to that day when we will all worship God together. Every one of us will express our worship differently. I picture a huge choir, worshiping in perfect harmony, each nation of people expressing adoration for God in a different way. What a wonderful concert that will be! For eternity, all of us praising God in purity and truth.
