Bridges don't just happen.
Somewhere, sometime in the past someone saw the need to get from "here" to "there" and built a bridge to make it possible.
Bridges don't just happen.
Someone builds them to cross chasms.
You may have traveled across a bridge in the past to reach a destination without ever thinking that someone made it to help you navigate the chasm between here and there.
Chasm crossing is part of our lives, but without bridges it's difficult.
Between man and God is a chasm that has only one bridge, Jesus Christ. But there is something you need to know if you are a Christian....you are a bridge between God and others as well. You either make it easy for them to get to him or you make it harder. You help them bridge the gap or make them wonder if the journey is really worth the effort.
There are a few things about bridges we all look for- they have to be stable, trustworthy. Bridges have to be easy to cross. They must make the one crossing the chasm feel safe. As you bridge the chasm between others and God are they willing to trust you to help them get to the other side or do they look for another path?
Bridging chasms between God and others is part of your job. How are you doing?
