Reconnect: Build the Bridge!

When we make peace with others, it’s like we're building a bridge across to the other side. We can reconnect and prove we care more about each other than winning an argument.

When Adam and Eve decided that their way was better than God’s way and broke God’s rule, they changed the relationship between God and His creation. God could have done anything He wanted, including wiping us out and starting over. But instead, God decided to make peace with us. Ultimately God did this through His Son, Jesus. When Jesus rose from the dead, He paid the price for everything that was wrong and unfair in this world. Because of Jesus, we can have peace. We can reflect the character of Christ by caring for others and making peace.
