Mission Moment


Johann Sebastian Bach

Can you play a musical instrument? Do you have lessons on the piano or recorder? Perhaps you just like making music for fun.
When Johann Sebastian Bach was growing up in Germany he loved playing music. He played the violin ... and the viola ... and the organ ... and the harpsichord ... and the clavichord (which was like an old-fashioned piano) ... and he was really good at singing! Johann sebastian loved music, but he loved Jesus too. He wanted to use his music to show how much he loved his friend Jesus.

When he grew up, Johann Sebastian's job was to play music and sing in church. He didn't just play and sing, he wrote new music too.

He wrote music to go with the bits of the Bible that were read each Sunday. He wrote new music for old church songs. He wrote special happy music for Easter Sunday and Christmas. He wrote special sad music for Good Friday when Jesus died. He wrote all his music to show people how much his friend Jesus loved them too. Sometimes Johann Sebastian's music didn't have Bible words and wasn't played in church. He still wanted his music to show how much he loved Jesus.

He knew that Jesus helped him write all his beautiful music.
Why not ask Jesus to help you make up a tune to show him how much you love him too?
