THE BRIDGE
Jesus told this parable beginning in Luke 15:11: “And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.” He was not careful how he spent his money. I guess he thought it would never run out, but it did! Then when he thought he would get a job, there were no jobs to be had. The economy was in bad shape. There was a mighty famine in the land. The Bible says that he began to be in want. He wanted a place to live and he wanted food to eat but he had neither. Verses 1516 states: “And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.” He was so hungry that he was willing to eat the pigs’ food because no one would give him anything! You can just picture the predicament that he had gotten himself into. He left home with lots of money, nice clothes, maybe even a beautiful horse! And he probably had lots of friends until the money ran out. Now he was destitude, no money, no friends, his clothes were dirty and raggedy from messing around with the pigs, and he was very hungry! Things had gone down hill for him fast! He had to make a decision as to what to do with his life. Now, the father loved his sons very much but he saw in his younger son a determination to do whatever he wanted to do. He could not persuade him to change his mind so he let the young man go his own way. There is a story that goes like this: years ago when they had railroad bridges that would split in the middle and rise up to let the big ships pass under, there was a man who took his little son to work with him. The father did not have a lot to do unless a ship was coming and he had to raise and lower the bridge. He knew the train schedules so he knew when to expect a train. However, every once in a

while, the bridge had to be serviced. On that particular day that he had his son with him he raised the bridge to grease the gears. He had plenty of time before the train was due to come through. The little boy begged his father to let him help. While the father was greasing the gears, he ran out of grease. He told his son to just wait there until he went to get another tube. But curiosity got the better of the boy and he climbed up in the bridge and got his foot caught in the gears. The father tried and tried to get his sons’s foot loose but was not able to do so. He looked at his watch and realized that the next train was due to reach the bridge within minutes. He heard the train whistle and made one last attempt to release his son’s foot, but it would not budge. He had to make a decision fast, his son or a train load full of people. The bridge was up and the train was fast approaching. Weeping he said: my son, my son, I have to do this, and went and pulled the lever to lower the bridge. He could hear cries of his only son and the screams of pain as the bridge came down. Just as the bridge was in place the train came roaring through with the passengers laughing, waving, and having a wonderful time. They had no clue as to what had just happened; the father was standing there heart broken and weeping saying: I sacrificed my son for your sake. Listen, the world today is like those people on the train, going on their merry way completely and willingly ignorant of God’s sacrifice. He chose to give the life of His Son to save the world. Jesus died a horribly painful death. Will you go on your merry way willingly ignoring the sacrifice which was made for you? John 3:16 tells us that God gave His only begotten Son that we might live.
