This message gives absolute clarity to the reality of God's taking the initiative to build a bridge to himself through Christ. God has done for us what we can't do for ourselves, try as we might. And once we understand and accept the reconciliation route to God, we should have no hesitation initiating any necessary reconciliation with others in our circle of relationships and beyond. We're also reminded that crossing the bridge through Christ is not only for our present life, but for life everlasting.
