Hello OCBC family.
Today I want to share about Anna Warner and her sister Susan. Probably you don’t know these names, but you will; they grew up near West Point Military Academy in 1800’s. They became known for leading Sunday school services for the young men there. After their father passed away, they supported themselves with their various literary endeavors. Susan became known as a best-selling novelist. Anna also wrote novels and published two collections of poems. She wrote a simple hymn in 1860 to be included in one of her sister’s novels. In the story, it was a poem of comfort spoken to a dying child. This hymn is “Jesus Loves Me.” Today millions of voices around the world sing these words: “Yes, Jesus loves me!” Once, when asked to summarize the essential truths of the Christian faith, the great Swiss theologian Karl Berth gave this simple answer: “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.”
