What Do You Say?



You're giving a series of talks on classical music. You begin with some of the basics, you lay the ground work, you examine some interesting pieces. And finally, the time comes to look at Mozart's Serenade for Winds. How do you do it justice? What do you say? Might it not be better to just let it speak for itself?

That's how I feel as I prepare to move into Colossians 1:15-20 in this quack Bible Class of mine. This early Christian poem/hymn is beautifully composed, every word carefully chosen, every phrase cosmic in size. This is Paul at his lyrical best.

I'm screwed.
