THE BRIDGE BETWEEN GOD AND MAN

“And in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross,
by which he put to death their hostility.”  Ephesians 2:16

Up in heaven is the holy God; down below is the sinful man.
And sin is the dividing rod that separates.
Man has an empty void, so man is constantly trying to reach God.
But he keeps rebounding off the sin barrier.
Then God, showed His mercy for the hopelessness of man and 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 you and for me.

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.
Ask God to prepare you for opportunities to witness to others.
Remember witnessing isn’t complicated,
it’s just telling others what the Lord has done for you.
Take a moment and think about what you might say.
It may be something as simple as,
“I used to do (____), but now I do (____)
and I am much happier now”
or
“I used to not do (____), but now I do
and it blesses and encourages me”
We just share the goodness of God in our lives,
He is the one that convicts.
Witnessing doesn’t mean pressing for a decision,
it’s just telling others how the Lord
has made a difference in our own lives.
He has, hasn’t He?
