I have been at the Texas Baptist Convention this week in Corpus Christi. It has been a blessed time to catch up with fellow ministers from around the state – to hear what God is doing in their churches and communities. We serve a big God and it helps to remember sometimes that my little world is not the only world that exists!
At any rate, the view from my window has had me thinking this week. When I look through the window to the right, I see a vast expanse of water – the bay. But straight ahead is an impressive bridge. It connects one part of the city to another part of the city while allowing ships to pass underneath. Being from west Texas, I don’t get to see too many bridges so this one is pretty impressive.
As I have been thinking about bridges this morning, I am reminded that God calls us to be bridges. All of us have been put in place to bridge the gap between a loving God and a world void of real love. We must be the path by which the people around us can come to Jesus.
There are all kinds of analogies we can draw from this metaphor but let me just ask you one question today.
Are you the kind of bridge that connects people with God?
Think about it today.
