Building a Bridge over Troubled Waters

There are few things as divisive as politics. If we are honest, sometimes we use religion to justify positions, especially around social and political topics. But Christianity was never intended to try and win arguments. In fact, it’s just the opposite. The question for Jesus followers is this: Are we willing to evaluate our politics through the filter of faith so we can build bridges, rather than create a version of faith that supports our politics and often builds walls? Jesus didn’t call everyone to agree on everything, but he did command his followers to be united by unconditional love. Followers of Jesus are invited to build bridges which takes sacrifice. Jesus was willing to stretch out his arms to build a bridge and that image is meant to empower us to do the same in these difficult times.
