Jesus Loves Me
World renowned Swiss theologian Karl Barth wrote 13 volumes of Christian Dogmatics, among many other hefty works. Not too many years before his death, he was asked if he could summarize his theology. He responded using the words of a well-loved children’s song, “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.”
It’s beautiful to me that years of research, writing, and study could lead him to a profound but simple faith. Today, whatever your state of mind, whatever you may be going through, whatever worries, anxiety, joys, or doubts you are carrying with you, I hope you will know in the deepest part of your being that Jesus loves you.
Our prayer today was written by Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope. Let us pray: Loving God, who watches over us in the restlessness of the night and whose arms are around us when we feel alone, unworthy, and unlucky, teach us how to live with the special feeling of grace abounding. Open our hearts to know your transforming and redemptive love. Mold us now in the image of your Son Jesus, in whose name we pray. Amen.
