ON THE BRIDGE

42 Comments / Faith

One of my most pleasurable moments are the times I am on a bridge and passing through. Whereas I cannot place the exact reason, I have often enquired within me why that joy comes. I have resolved that whereas there may be others to be discovered, my joy comes from the fact that I am able to escape all that is down under the bridge.

A bridge serves a couple of purposes. The remote service of a bridge is to make way. The more obvious services I find are:

1. An escape from the entanglement under and arrive at an earlier time. In some areas where bridges are built, they are built over existing roads. The passageway the bridge creates is oftentimes better to pass through, easier, and faster, for one to get to his destination.

2. An escape from drowning. Many other times, at the end of the present road we tread is the large water body. Yet, that is not our destination. To arrive at our desired place, one must have to cross the water. Since men are not built to fly, they have learnt to build bridges. By reason of the bridges, we can safely cross to our desired places of rest.

In any case, bridges are important to arrive at one’s destination. If we remain on the road of the  lowland, we may find ourselves entangled in the hustle and bustle, and may either find it hard to step out and continue our journey, thereby arriving later than we ought to have arrived. If we do not have bridges, times will come where we are at our wits end. There will be nowhere else to turn except to go forward. In these times when going forward appears like being in between the devil and the deep blue sea, we need a bridge, so that we do not drown.

Without mincing words, I have found that Jesus is the bridge of life, necessary to arrive at our designated or desired destination. Jesus is the means by which we passed from death to life. Our passage from death to life is the assurance that we can pass from any seeming dead end and yet blossom in greater dimensions, even those yet unknown to any man. Jesus assures us of this; we can rest assured. By this, we know that we have hope for life ahead.

If we yield to Jesus and allow him bridge the gap between our present situations and our desired places, we will be better off. If He does, we will arrive better, faster, and in a grander style than we may have conceived. God’s presence in our lives is an everlasting signature of hope. Although unseen, he makes this hope tangible to us by tokens of signs that he shows us. He wants us to believe Him and stay put on that bridge. Do not look back, do not turn back; Jesus has got your back.

There is hope and a great deal of potential for success if we stay on the bridge. We get excused of every contrary element on the way. Our best bet therefore, is to stay put on the bridge.

You can read from the top again and understand in context. Jesus is the bridge. He is the guarantee of hope, a blessing that makes rich and adds no sorrow. Just one message to end:

STAY ON THE BRIDGE!
