What can a Martin guitar, autographed by music legend Eric Clapton, teach us about God? In this episode of the Things Above podcast, James Bryan Smith continues his story about one of the greatest gifts ever given to him and the epiphanies that came through it. So what can an expensive guitar teach us about God? Well first, that Jesus wants to be the maestro of our life. When we run our little "kingdoms and queendoms" on our own and the music isn’t very good. But when we surrender to Jesus and start living in the Kingdom of God, something wonderful happens. In the hands of the “Great Musician,” our lives are capable of beautiful music. In the second lesson, we learn that God only gives us His very best. And we see that through Jesus’ loving, sacrificial act on the cross. This episode ends with a sampling of a very talented musician playing the now-famous Martin guitar in studio!
