When someone draws nigh a believer’s home, he should hear it filled with music and dancing. The music would speak of those precious teachings of our Lord Jesus. He said in Luke 7, referring to His ministry, “We have piped unto you.” What a wonderful music that was!
But in the father’s home in Luke 15 we also have dancing—the proper response and effect in those who hear the music. In Luke 7 they heard the Lord as He piped to them—but they had not danced.
What makes a happy Christian home is that there is more than good teaching (music); there is also a good response (dancing). Oh! may we, especially we who are fathers, ever be found not simply being many teachers, but ourselves doers of the Word. Surely this will bring joy to our homes.
“Lo, Thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear Thy words, but they do them not” (Ezek. 33:3232And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. (Ezekiel 33:32)).
