Forgiveness Needs a Bridge

God, the Father, had a plan all along, from creation to the virgin birth. Jesus, the Son, agreed to right the wrong that Adam and Eve started on earth. Human Jesus came down to bridge the gap that separates man from his Maker. Obedience, the first plank on His lap to a sin-ridden earth as Caretaker. Knowing God's plan was for Him to die, He showed the world that He is the Way. Only thru Jesus can we span heaven's sky with payment for sin on that great judgment day. Forgiveness, the last plank, Jesus supplied with His blood offered freely on the cross. These two planks of wood form the way whereby but the rest of the wood - would be our choice. Would we accept and believe His offer? Would we confess sin to gain right of passage? Would we believe Jesus our eternal Savior? Would we by free will cross over on His bridge?

Great way to share God’s plan of salvation. Those two planks upon which our Lord was nailed…his obedience, forgiveness of our sins, and each individual’s choice to make. Hugs and Happy New Year!

Thank you, Kim for commenting early-on. It made me realize I had somehow erased the first six lines of my piece. I appreciate your support and encouragement.
