Bridges

Have you ever considered bridges? There's all kinds of bridges in the world.  Foot bridges, draw bridges, covered bridges, suspension bridges, wooden bridges, bridges of stone, etc.

What is the purpose of a bridge?
Basically its to make it possible for someone or some thing to get from one place to another.
A bridge usually connects two points where it would be difficult if not impossible to get from one place to the other.
Songs have been written about bridges such as Simon and Garfunkle's "Bridge over Troubled Waters."
Movies have had bridges as their theme such as "The Bridges of Madison County" and "A Bridge to Terabithia."

Did you ever stop to consider that Jesus is a bridge?  When He died on the cross for our sins he bridged the gap between God and man.  Before this, one needed a priest to intercede between man and God.
But now we have full access to God the Father because of what Jesus did on the cross.
In fact, the cross symbolizes a bridge.  Man on one side of a great chasm and God on the other.
Now joined together for fellowship because of the cross and Jesus' dying on it for our sins.
Jesus made a way where there seemed to be no way.

So next time you see a bridge, think of Jesus and what He accomplished for us on that cross. He has made it possible for us to get to God and to be with Him eternally in Heaven!
