"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." (I Peter 3:18a)

Several years ago, I was asked to paint this picture of a bridge in my hometown of Merrill, WI. It is a historic bridge spanning the Prairie River in Stange's Park.
When I looked at this painting, I thought of how Jesus Christ spans the gulf between us and God, like a bridge over troubled water. Our sins separate us, but the righteous Christ who never sinned brings us to God. He is the Bridge.
It's a very simple message, but the gospel is a simple message--with profound implications.
Enjoy the simplicity and power of the gospel today.
Be blessed,
