From a manmade bridge on the small Caribbean island of Eleuthera, visitors can admire the stark contrast between the roiling dark blue waters of the Atlantic and the calm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Over time, storms washed away the original strip of land once marked by a natural stone arch. The glass window bridge that now serves as a tourist attraction on Eleuthera is known as “the narrowest place on earth.”
The Bible describes the road that leads to eternal life as narrow “and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:14). The gate is considered small because God the Son is the only bridge that can reconcile fallen man and God the Father through the power of the Holy Spirit (vv. 13–14). However, Scripture also says that every people, nation, and societal rank can enter heaven and will bow before the King of kings and worship together around His throne (Revelation 5:9). This phenomenal image of contrast and unity includes all of God’s beautifully diverse people.
Though we are separated from God by our sin, every person God created is invited to enter eternity in heaven by walking this narrow path of reconciliation through a personal relationship with Christ. His sacrifice on the cross, resurrection from the tomb, and ascension to heaven is the good news, accessible to all and worth sharing today and every day.
[MOU1]Xochi would like us to keep the reference to the Holy Spirit.
Hello, Our Daily Bread family. Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread Sergio Dixon in today's reading accessible to all. I like to share how God used the landmark to deepen my love for sharing the gospel from a man-made bridge on the small Caribbean island of Eleuthera, visitors can admire the stark contrast between the roiling dark blue waters of the Atlantic and the calm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Over time, storms washed away the original strip of land once marked by a natural stone arch the glass window bridge that now serves as a tourist attraction on Eleuthera is known as the narrowest place on earth.
The Bible describes the road that leads to eternal life is narrow, and only a few find it. The gate is considered small because God the son is the only bridge that can reconcile fallen man and God the father, the power of the Holy Spirit. However, Scripture also says that believers from every people, nation, and societal rank can enter heaven, and will bow before the Keene of Keene's and worship together around his throne. This phenomenal image of contrast and unity includes all of God's beautifully diverse people, though we are separated from God by our sin. Every person God created is invited to enter eternity in heaven by walking this narrow path of reconciliation to a personal relationship with Christ. His sacrifice on the cross resurrection from the tomb and ascension to heaven is good news accessible to all and worth sharing today and every day. Today's Our Daily Bread devotional Scripture reading is from Matthew chapter 7 verses 13 to 14 enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find let's pray God the father, please empower us to your Holy Spirit so we can show others the accessible path that leads to your approachable son Jesus.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen. Wrong. Today's encouragement was provided by Our Daily Bread ministries
