Rialto Bridge 3

You won't find the word "bridge" in the Bible. But the concept is central to God's action and to our response.

In sending Jesus, God was building a bridge between heaven and earth, connecting divine grace and healing to our brokenness and need. For our part, we have been given the "ministry of reconciliation," the task of healing the rifts between people and God, people and people, people and the earth, people and themselves.

Sounds like bridge-building to me! And the results are even more beautiful and long-lasting than the work of Mr. da Ponte.
