Sermon Illustrations: Significance

Have you heard about the one-note musician? She inspected her violin, took her seat in the orchestra, arranged her music and tuned up her instrument. As the concert proceeded the conductor cued one group of musicians after another until finally the crucial moment arrived. It was time for her one note to be played! The conductor signalled, she sounded her note - and the moment was over. Just like that! The orchestra played on and the one-note player sat there quietly for the rest of the concert; not disappointed that she'd played only one note, but with a sense of fulfilment that she'd played it in tune, on time, and with great gusto.
