The water company is working on the waterlines where I live. They are putting down bigger pipes so that our water pressure, which is already good, even better. They had to cut a big ditch through a main road, that is very well traveled by everyone in this community. One night, when I was coming home, as I turned down the road, the car coming my way quickly flashed their headlights at me. THANK YOU.....because they saved my car! The water company had filled that huge ditch with gravel at the end of the work day............it had settled and SUNK in! It left a deep rut that could total your car! The water company quickly came back out and place 2 thick, huge pieces of metal over the gaping hole!
Well, after driving nervously slow over those sheets of metal, I was so thankful that they formed a bridge that safely got me over to the other side!................and, that got me thinking........bridge....hmmmm..........the dictionary defines a bridge as, 'a structure spanning and providing passage over a gap or barrier.' Awesome!.....why?? Because that also got me thinking.....the cross............Jesus gave His life on a structure spanning and providing passage over a gap or barrier! His cross was the bridge that allowed WHOSOEVER to be able to gain salvation through the blood of God's Son!
Now, I just love driving over those sheets of metal.....because they remind me of what a blessing a bridge can be......thank you, Jesus for building a bridge so that a wretch such as I can be eternally saved!
