Building a Bridge

In Ephesians, Paul writes that Jesus is our bridge. Through his life, death, and resurrection, he tore down the walls of hostility that divided insiders and outsiders, and made one new humanity.

Peacemaking is like that—it’s bridge-building. It’s slow, hard, holy work. And sometimes, like the man in The Bridge Builder poem, we build bridges for people who come after us, even if we never cross them ourselves.
