Years ago, someone, Phil Ware I believe, shared an article about Bridges of Grace with me.
Here’s a fun fact that you can verify: there are around 50,000 public bridges in the state of Texas — and that is not counting private bridges. There are more than 600,000 public bridges in the United States.
Don’t believe it; take a little trip of about 150 miles and try to count them. Bridges cross culverts and canyons, railroads and rivers, inlets and dry creek beds, dips in the terrain and swamps along the coast, underpasses and obstacles. Bridges are everywhere. Yet, bridges are often unnoticed, under-appreciated, and often under-maintained.
The bottom line is: Bridges take us from where we are to where we need to go! Thankfully, they are nearly everywhere and nearly always work for us.
I want to be a bridge to help people find the Way to Jesus. I don’t want to be a barrier to them that would get them lost.
I have thought about those bridges that helped me come to Christ. It was a bumpy ride, but I finally got there.
I remember being baptized into Christ Jesus. I remember experiencing His death, burial and resurrection.
Please consider Galatians 3:26-27. For you are all sons and daughters of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
