Everyday we are faced with a few thousand decisions to make. Which shirt to wear, which way to turn, what to eat for lunch, and what to watch on TV. We make so many decisions everyday and we rarely think about the consequences unless they are major decision like buying a new home or new car. Perhaps the most important decisions we make are when we decide how we are going to treat others and what we are going to do with our lives. These decisions come from our values and what we believe to be right. Those beliefs come from somewhere or somebody. Our parents, teachers, friends and so forth have all exhibited their influence in our lives The truth is everybody is following somebody and even they were influenced by someone else's values and beliefs.
Personally I am trying to follow Jesus. I am not perfect at it and I make mistakes daily. I just believe that the way of Jesus is the best possible way to live. I believe that forgiveness is better than revenge. I believe honesty is better than deceit. I believe the pursuit of peace is a better way to live. And I believe that loving others is simply a better way. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” He was not simply showing us a better way to live but rather he was telling us that his way is the best way to live because it is in perfect harmony with God himself. At The Bridge we strive to live the way of Jesus and we invite you to join us on the journey.
