The Unfinished Symphony

Franz Schubert wrote only two parts of his symphony, a great Allegro and a second charming movement. Death claimed him and he was unable to write the Finale. He could not finish it and hence his great work is known as The Unfinished Symphony. But there is another Symphony, with a greater theme than an earthly composer has ever noted down. That symphony is the symphony of God's redemption. The great theme of it originated with God in eternity. Before the foundation of the world the great omniscient composer mapped out each part of His symphony, in which He would sound forth the sweet music of His love towards a lost world and in which He would display the marvels of the riches of His grace and power. Creation is a great symphony of God, but redemption is far greater. But like Schubert's symphony God's Symphony is also unfinished. The great Finale has not yet been heard, but unlike Schubert who cannot furnish the Finale, God will produce in a glorious consummation the great Finale of His redemption, when heaven and earth will vibrate with a great and never ending Hallelujah chorus. - p. 1-2.
