John 15:9 (NIV)
9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved
you. Now remain in my love.
The great Swiss theologian, Dr. Karl Barth, was probably in
his generation the greatest theologian in the world, and a great philosopher as
well. I did not always agree with him, but he was my friend and I respected
him. While he was in this country, a student at one of the seminaries said,
“Dr. Barth, what is the greatest truth that ever crossed your mind?” All
the seminary students were sitting on the edge of their seats to hear some
great, profound, deep, complicated answer. Dr. Barth slowly raised his great
shaggy gray head and looked at the student and said, “Jesus loves me, this I
know, for the Bible tells me so.”
Thought for today:
Am I aware of the enormity of God’s love?
