Plucking the Heartstring

This is a beautiful analogy of the power of the gospel:

"I have often looked at the huge cables, the monstrous wires, of a suspension bridge, and thought, 'If somebody was strong enough to pluck it, I wonder what it would sound like?' To a termite looking at the great strings on a bass fiddle, it would say, 'Boy, I wonder what that sounds like?' But you see there are people who can pluck it. And the Bible says there's a chord in your life which is as thick and huge as a suspension cable, and nobody, nothing, no message but the gospel message is strong enough to pluck it. But once it’s plucked, once it starts to reverberate, the entire heart reverberates with the sounds of joy." ~ Tim Keller
