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.”
