My first car did! I never used it because I didn’t have any 8 tracks or any clue how to play one! I picked this up for a whole 25 cents at a Goodwill the other day (I mean, for a quarter, why not!), and it got me thinking: Newer technology can take the same songs and play them better and easier.
I’ve never heard much Glenn Miller music, but there’s a Biblical lesson here as well. I’m glad that spiritually we don’t need a new message but get to enjoy new opportunities to share the truth of Jesus through technology.
A lot of people mock the idea of one truth that’s always true for everyone everywhere, but then those same people often latch onto a really bad idea that ends up being wrong or hop from one idea to the next, never finding real truth, real hope, and real purpose that can only come through Jesus.
Acts 17:21 describes some people like that: “For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.” Some believed the message of Jesus that Paul shared with them, but I really wonder if the rest EVER found what they were looking for!
We don’t need to find something better than Jesus because there is nothing better! We don’t need to search for something new; we need to share the truth of Jesus more and do a better job of living out that truth.
