Bridges are connectors. Over water, they connect two pieces of land. Over land, they take you over something: roads, railroad tracks. I recently had the opportunity to walk a path through the woods that had five plus bridges. They were short, taking me over creeks and streams. Some were made of wood with stairs and railings. Others were fallen logs put together with another log as a railing. No matter their construction, I was thankful for them. It made the walk a little easier to traverse.
In spiritual terms, Jesus is our bridge to God. The cross is connecting us, through Jesus, to God. Our faith, our trust in Jesus and His finished work on the cross, gives us access to God, connecting the earthly to the heavenly. To access the Bridge, put self behind, confess your sins, and believe that Jesus is The Savior, The Bridge, that puts you in a right relationship with God. Once you do, He is with you, guiding your path, walking alongside, directing your thoughts, actions, and attitudes to do His will each and every day.
1 Timothy 2:5-6: “For, there is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity-the man Christ Jesus. He gave His life to purchase freedom for everyone.”
