--Jesus, the Bridge Spanning the Great Divide

--BIBLE MEDITATION:
“And that He might reconcile both unto God in one body by the Cross, having slain the enmity thereby.” Ephesians 2:16

-DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Up in heaven is the holy God.
Down below is the sinful man.
And sin is the dividing rod that separates.

Without God, man has an empty void in his life he knows he must fill, so man is constantly trying to reach God. But he keeps rebounding off the sin barrier.

Then God, moved in mercy by the pitiful plight of sinful man, said, “I will do something.”

God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus, to make a way. And upon the rough-hewn timbers of a Cross, Jesus gave His life so you and I could live forever and live forgiven. Jesus built a bridge between man and God. It’s a bridge man could never build. And a bridge that man can never take away.

God made a way that we couldn’t make . . . for me . . . and for you. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." There is no other way. No religions. It is a personal relationship with the living Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Jesus paid the 'sin-debt' that no man could ever pay. Won't you accept this 'free gift' from Him. He died so that you may live eternally with Him.

--ACTION POINT:
Since Jesus built a bridge of love for you to be reconciled to God, it’s your turn to build a bridge of love to someone who is lost and searching. Yes, if you are saved and 'born-again' as John 3:3 instructs, THEN it is your job to tell others of the saving love of Christ, and the Holy Spirit does the work of bringing them into His kingdom.
