Bible Note: Hi, CDBJ - Perhaps by pushing it a little, what follows might be considered a sort of corollary to the theme of your post: it is, I feel, vaguely germane. ..... Karl Barth is considered by some the greatest Protestant theologian of the 20th century and possibly the greatest since the Reformation. Barth was addressing a body of seminary students and at the end of his address, he opened to questions from the students. One student asked, "Dr. Barth, sir, what would you consider the most profound theological thought you have ever had?" ..... Without hesitation, Barth replied, "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so." ..... The seminary students must have been surprised to hear this world-renowned theologian give such a simple answer, quoting from a well-known hymn that little children sing. Don't we all at times tend to make the gospel of Christ too complicated? --Hank |
