Hey all,
Ever think of yourself as a Bridge Builder? Some of you are probably thinking....."I can't hammer a nail......let alone build a bridge!" Don't worry, that is not what I am talking about.
Check this out.
The Latin definition for the Royal Priest that existed in biblical times is...." Bridge builder". It means that the role of the priest was to "bridge" the gap between man and God. They were the conduit for how man could connect with God. We now know that when Jesus arrived on the scene, he gave us direct access to the Father through his death on the cross and his resurrection. We now don't need a priest to have access to God......that bridge is forever built by Jesus and is available for us if we accept him as our savior.
With that concept in mind, I believe that there are areas in our life and our world where there are "bridges" that still need built. Think about it.......there so many "gaps" that exist in the world today that keep people's needs from being served. They are all around us. Wherever there is a need......there is most likely a gap that remains for that need to be served. Sadly, in most cases....the need is not being met. The gap is not being filled. It will remain a need in our world until........someone steps in and "builds the bridge". It takes someone to build the bridge between the solution(s) and the need. It takes someone to connect influence and opportunity to the need. It takes someone to say...."I can influence that and I am going to do something about it." It might be a need in the community, or the church, or the school. It might be a broken relationship at home or at work. Whatever it is........there is one thing for sure. It will never be served or solved until someone steps in........................................and "builds a bridge".
Is it going to be you?
