Jesus is a Bridge Over Troubled Waters
Today's topic is "Jesus is a bridge across troubled waters." We began with the disciples in a boat on the sea of
Galilee where the storm arose and became quite blisterous. And the disciples looking at their circumstances lost
their faith. Looking upon the waters they saw this figure of a man approaching them. As the figure got closer they
realized it was the master, Jesus. And Peter asked, could he come to meet him? And Jesus said, come. And as Peter
began to walk on the water, somewhere in the midst of the storm he lost faith and began to sink. Jesus lifted him up
by the hand and said, where did you loose faith. He is a bridge over trouble waters.
In our lives we sometimes encounter large oceans of obstacles filled with sharks (sin) barracudas and all other types
of spirits intended to destroy your soul. Sometimes the sharks are drugs. Sometimes the barracuda is sickness,
sometimes the sin is adultery. But we know that our soul is secure in Christ Jesus. For your life be hid in Christ
Jesus. We know that by his stripes we are healed. We know that there is no other name given among men whereby
we might be saved other than Jesus Christ. There have been great men according to the scriptures. Moses the
greatest prophet on earth. Joshua a man of faith that commanded God to have the sun to stand still. And the Bible
says, God obeyed. Elijah was able to call fire from heaven on the false prophets of Baal. Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego was able to endure the fiery furnace. Jehoshaphat was able to defeat and enormous army.
All these men have a legacy within the Holy Scriptures, but known of them was able to bridge man with God. Only
Jesus and that atoning blood. That blood which represents his love. That blood that cries out thus far Satan and no
father. That blood that was able to make a one time sacrifice into the Holies of Holies and rent the vale between man
and God from top to bottom.
Yes, Jesus is a bridge over troubled waters. He is bread in a starving land. He is water in the midst of a desert. He is
clothing in the time of nakedness (Robe of righteousness). When your friends forsake he is a friend that stick closer
than a brother. When sickness enter into your body, he says, I am a God that healeth thee. When your way gets
dark, he is the lamp unto your feet and a light unto your pathway.
Sisters and brothers if you don't know Jesus for the pardon of your sin, please seek him while he yet can be found.
Call upon him while he yet hears, for your soul must spend eternity somewhere.
