There is a significant gap between you and your destination on the other side. A bridge provides at least one way to get there. Most Christians would reply that the gap is enormous, and in a theological sense they are correct. The Christian world view is on one side of a chasm, and non-Christian world views are on the other. Such a predicament could be left as it is, which is the case for too many Christians.
Points of contact can provide the raw materials for the building of such a bridge.
Alister McGrath, a great theologian and apologist of our time, has suggested several such points of contact that are shared by all people. These can be useful as you begin to erect a bridge. First, most people have a sense of unsatisfied longing. We are made in the image of God. Nothing that is transitory can ever fill this need.
