Karl Barth is not the Name. Jesus, for salvation, came. Barth points us to the One, Jesus Christ, God’s only Son. If Barth were here today, I think he would still say, Look from Barth, look away. Look to Jesus, he would say. Karl Barth spoke of Christ’s grace. Yes! Karl Barth knew his place. He did not seek the glory. He wrote to tell Christ’s story. Look! Here comes Doctor Barth! It doesn’t sound quite right! If God’s Word claims our heart, “Jesus only” is in our sight. “Barth is small. Christ is great.” This is what “KB” said. We’re in an awful state, When we say “Barth is great ...”. Karl Barth wrote many books. What were they all about? To Jesus Christ he looks. Let’s get His message out. Words of Christ's text are few.* They are addressed to you. “The Bible tells us so”, And Jesus helps us grow. Karl Barth said, “Less of me.” More of Christ may we see. When we read Barth’s CD,** May Christ be all we see.
