Now we know there is a God in heaven!

He who has seen Me has seen the Father. (John 14:9)

When he was only 13 years old, violinist Yehudi Menuhin [performed] with the Berlin Philharmonic,...[playing] some of the most difficult compositions by Beethoven, Bach, and Brahms. The response was so enthusiastic that the management called in the police.... Albert Einstein, who had listened with utter delight..., avoided the authorities by running across the stage into Yehudi's dressing room. He embraced the surprised violinist and exclaimed, "Now I know there is a God in heaven!"

While the beauty of music does indeed bear witness to God's reality, only through the supernatural life and ministry of Christ...are we able to know God with unshadowed certainty. We read the Gospels and...exclaim with...adoration, "Now we know there is a God in heaven!"
