Memaw's Bridge

". . . between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us." (Luke 16:26)

For years, I've wanted a bridge across a stream at the farm. For my upcoming birthday in April, my superman is building Memaw's Bridge.

In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus told a story of a two men: one rich and the other poor. At death, the poor man named Lazarus who had cried out to God for mercy was taken by angels to heaven. The rich man who had rejected God found himself condemned to Hades. A great chasm or "unbridgeable place" fixed for eternity stretched between them. 

Jesus' point: How we respond to God in this life determines where we reside in the next.

God offers The Bridge into heaven to every living soul on earth. That name of that bridge? JESUS. Jesus Himself said, "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)

Are you trusting in The Bridge for your next life, beloved?
