Today, my heart is singing! Maybe it dates me, but I'm hearing choruses of 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters' loud and clear! Jesus is our Bridge, our only bridge; our bridge over the chasm sin creates between us and the One Holy God. We can not swim those troubled waters. Jesus, alone, is The Bridge that allows us to cross.
The water is thick with many alligators. Hungry alligators! Those alligators would gladly and eagerly chew us up; causing great pain and torment. Some alligators come in human form. Some in sickness, financial troubles, relationships and cleverly disguised by the enemy. Some we invite into our lives. Some hit us in spite of the way we try to live. People, there is no other way to make it to the other side!
The Cross was laid across the troubled waters spanning the gap between our sinful selves and God. Build by the blood, sweat and tears of sacrifice by our Lord and Savior, The Bridge is our only access.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord! We'll take the Bridge, thank you!
