Think about language
We often take communication for granted unless we’re trying to speak to someone who doesn’t understand our language. Language is either a tool, or a great wall. Without a key to the language we want to understand, we can be patient, yet even then we won’t understand regardless of how much we listen. Music is translated into so many languages, yet the language of music is little black dots with tails on or in between lines. Several other symbols give us the details we need. Overall music is mostly a language of pictures, which means nothing to the person that doesn’t know the language.
From the Bible, we see everyone used to speak the same language in the first book of the Bible. Only eleven chapters into that first book named Genesis, all language is confused. In that time, people had grouped together to war against God. The Bible records that God responded by making those very people speak different languages to create an instant and permanent communication wall between those people. (Genesis 11) Today, this language wall is still present, causing delays, problems, and misunderstandings.
If we want to know a song, and we don’t have a recording of it, we must be able to read music. How many songs have you not heard because you couldn’t read the language of music?
