Jesus, the Bridge

By Melisa Calcote

When I wrote the poem, Jesus the Bridge, it gave me an idea of where to go from here. So the writings you read will be a journey of my Faith; nature, Gods creation, and different aspects in life. The reason behind writing Jesus the Bridge is to bring to mind to others that there is a bridge that connects us to our Father in Heaven; Jesus Christ. And you will see some of my art that I enjoy doing in my spare time. It is a relaxing way to unwind at the end of the day. That and the fellowship of my family and my Christian family is the one thing that I enjoy the most. When you stop and look at your life, the main thing in life is enjoying all the fellowship of the family around you.

Jesus is the Bridge

What is a bridge? It’s a structure that allows people or vehicles to cross over a river, canal, or railway. We look at bridges as getting from one place to another, connecting us to the opposite side. In a way, Jesus is like a bridge that connects us to God. For it is through Jesus Christ that we are one with our God.

He is the Bridge in my life and yours that makes us whole and complete with our God. He is everything that we need. Through Jesus Christ, there is peace, love, joy, acceptance, understanding, loving kindness, perseverance, patience, and so much more. Through forgiveness of sins, He has given me this inner peace. It’s a tranquil and quiet place
