J. S. Bach offended his employer the Duke by making noises about changing jobs. The Duke responded by parking Bach in jail for a month. This paragon of virtue sat his "offense" out behind bars, writing music. (Some people think that’s where he was when he began his work on The Well-Tempered Clavier. The first three Preludes are repetitive, I admit!)
After a certain time in J.S. Bach’s life, he wrote over each composition “To the Glory of God.”
Have you had a moment in your life yet, when you realized you are a sinner before God and recognized that you need to turn yourself in to Him, allowing Him to cleanse you with the blood of His Son Jesus Christ? Have your sins been washed away and have you been made fit to be a vessel to His honor? Can it be written over your life, “To the Glory of God?”
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
“The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” 1 John 1:7
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Acts. 16:31
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23
