One Stretch December 3, 2013 — by Anne Cetas Subscribe on iTunes Play MP3 (Mobile) Our Daily Bread Radio is hosted by Les Lamborn Read: 1 John 2:24–3:3 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! —1 John 3:1 Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 45-46; 1 John 2 For years, Sarah had low-back pain that continued to worsen. Her doctor sent her for physical therapy, and she was given 25 stretches to do every day. The pain lessened but not completely. So the doctor ordered x-rays and sent her to another therapist, who instructed her to discontinue the other therapist’s stretches and do only one stretch a day as needed. Surprisingly, the one simple stretch worked the best. Sometimes the simplest truths are the best. When asked to summarize in one sentence his whole life’s work in theology, Karl Barth responded: “Jesus loves me!” Some say he added, “This I know, for the Bible tells me so.” God’s love for us is evident. He gave His Son to rescue us from ourselves. Christ died on the cross, taking our burden of sin. Then He rose again, giving us new life in Him. Amazing love! As John tells us: “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:1). Jesus’ love for us isn’t a Band-Aid or a cure-all for all of life’s problems, of course. But it is the one truth we can always depend on to give purpose to life and peace with God. I am so glad that our Father in heaven Tells of His love in the Book He has given; Wonderful things in the Bible I see— This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me. —Bliss The wonder of it all— just to think that Jesus loves me.
