Overflow

Mark Buchanan writes today at A Holy Experience that
near the end of theologian Karl Barth’s life, having written the most monumental theological work of the 20th Century, having read virtually every other theological work ever penned, a journalist asks him, “What is the greatest truth you’ve ever heard?”

To which Barth replies, “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible the Bible tells me so.”

Buchanan write that
It is the wellspring of all we do and all we are. All life and ministry is overflow.

And the inflow is this one thing: knowing and relishing and never forgetting that I am the one Jesus loves.
