Pastor’s Note: I was reading a great book by Ed Hindson a week or so ago and in one of the chapters I came across this statement:

“The biblical story of the human race begins in the garden and ends in the eternal city. In between stands the cross of Jesus Christ.”^[1]

I loved it so much, just the imagery it evoked in my imagination impressed me so, but I am no artist even in the slightest and I thought how great it would be to have an image depicting this very thought. So, finding some art on the internet, I created this image and can only hope some day soon, someone with talent can create a painting that depicts the truth of this statement. In the meantime it should most certainly provide comfort and assurance to God’s creation who have in faith walked across that bridge that Jesus Christ laid down for all of us!
