I was recently helping at a Christian camp for younger girls. One morning, we took a hike along a creek until we ended up at a rope bridge. As I was helping the kids across the bridge, one girl asked me how she could get to the other side of the creek. I motioned to the rope bridge, telling her she just had to walk across. The girl said she didn’t want to cross the bridge. When I explained that the rope bridge was the only way to get across, she refused to believe it. She even walked up and down the bank of the creek, trying to find another way. How often do we refuse to believe there is only one way to eternal life? Jesus Christfully God and fully humandied and rose again to beat sin and death so that all who put their trust in Him might live forever with Him. Many people try to find different ways to eternal life, but only Jesus provides it. Some are turned off to Christianity because it initially seems too difficult or scary, just like how the girl felt about the rope bridge. But in the end, Jesus is the only way to salvation from sin and death. If our faith is in Himno matter what scary things we facewe can trust that we are secure, knowing He is faithful to His promises to forgive our sins and give us eternal life.
