BE A BRIDGE BUILDER

Years ago, I had a vision of earth and heaven. There was a bridge in the shape of a cross that connected them. Beneath the bridge was the lake of fire. Those that crossed the bridge were safe, but those that rejected it fell into the lake of fire. That cross represents Jesus who came to reconcile or bring us back to the Father. He is the bridge between earth and heaven.

In 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 it says, “18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ…”

Ambassadors are those sent from one kingdom to another. We are ambassadors for Jesus. Reconciliation means to exchange, atonement, to restore to divine favor.  Jesus was the one that did that for all mankind. Yet, each of us must choose to cross that bridge through salvation. He made the way, now we share the gospel with the lost, and in a sense become a “bridge builder” for that person to receive the Lord.

We have each been given the responsibility of a ministry of reconciliation. There is no way to cross from earth to heaven except on the bridge God provided, which is Jesus. Be a bridge builder for the Lord by bringing the lost to salvation.
