Students at the University of Sheffield are speechless
The spacious ambience in Sheffield’s university tower block is called Coffee Revolution. But on Monday evening, the focus is not on enjoying coffee. Rather, a doctor from Peru is telling the 70 breathlessly listening students how something really big was created out of nothing. And he leaves no doubt about the power that created everything. On this long adventure journey “Diospi Suyana”, God became visible. And not with pious ramblings, but with power and authority. The hour-long lecture flies by.
A member of the group stands at the microphone and struggles for words. “I think I feel like all of you,” she says, “I don’t know what to say!”
When we experience God’s intervention, we are amazed and we fall silent in a feeling that could perhaps be described with the old expression “awe”. “Soli Deo Gloria” is what Johann Sebastian Bach wrote under his unforgettable compositions. And with it he expressed his conviction that God has given us humans music to praise and glorify him.
