Charles Lindbergh is buried here on Maui close to the little town of Hana. These very words are on his tomb.

Building A Bridge

February 17, 2015

Read: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 | Bible in a Year: Leviticus 21-22; Matthew 28

James Michener’s Centennial is a fictional account of the history and settlement of the American West. Through the eyes of a French-Canadian trader named Pasquinel, Michener converges the stories of the Arapaho of the Great Plains and the European-based community of St. Louis. As this rugged adventurer moves between the growing clutter of the city and the wide-open spaces of the plains, he becomes a bridge between two drastically different worlds.

Followers of Christ also have the opportunity to build bridges between two very different worlds—those who know and follow Jesus and those who do not know Him. Early Christians in Thessalonica had been building bridges to their idol-worshiping culture, so Paul said of them, “For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place” (1 Thess. 1:8). The bridge they were building had two components: the “word of the Lord” and the example of their faith. It was clear to everyone that they had “turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God” (v.9).

As God declares Himself to those around us by His Word and through our lives, we can become a bridge to those who do not yet know the love of Christ.

Father, help us live in such a way that others
will want to know about Your Son. May we not
merely try to do what’s “right” but instead
live as people forgiven and loved by You.

Live the gospel, and others will listen.

INSIGHT: In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul says that the greatest things are faith, hope, and love (v.13). In today’s passage, he commends the people of the church in Thessalonica for exhibiting these very traits. They work in faith and labor in love while hoping in Jesus Christ (1 Thess. 1:3).

Amen...Thank you, Rus. I hope you warm up soon!

Amen!

As Christians we are not only called to be bridges, but also CHANNELS of living Water! :-)

Happy GratiTuesday to All!

It is not below zero today, yippee!

I did my touch up painting on the little bathroom (I guess the new term is Powder Room going by what the shows on DIY say). It should be close to perfect once it dries. My arms are fully recovered from the Valentine’s Day painting spree!

Cheers

Thank you Meg. After a beautiful warm week we got that icy cold again and I see some plants were affected. Had a little rain during the night. Hope your week is a good one.
