If music be the food of love, play on

One of William Shakespeare's characters in his play Twelfth Night, who is madly in love, says, "If music be the food of love, play on"! This has caused me to reflect on how many contrasting genres of music we have, such as classical, reggae, Gregorian chant, rapping, gospel, heavy metal etc. God has not only created us to be unique, as mentioned in yesterday's devotional, but diverse. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). Much sincere love is expressed through the vast array of different genres of music. Whether we enjoy or approve of all music, I wonder how surprised we would be if we knew Jesus's views on it all.
