An amazing thing. Those of you with internet access may have been following progress on the construction of the Confederation Bridge - the link between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Saw the latest picture this week. Quite the sight. The other side burrows into the ground of the island.
People move across the great divide of water on that bridge.
And only across that bridge. The truth is firmly embedded in the passage that we'll read together. In and among all the other wonderful things which Hebrews teaches, the truth that I'm talking about, which I see illustrated in the Confederation Bridge is that we worship a Saviour, Jesus Christ, who is the link between heaven and earth. He stands with one foot firmly planted in the human predicament. And the other foot is grounded in the reality and eternity of heaven.
