In 2008 I finished the book “True Story” by James Choung. Great book for our day and age. If you’ve been a Christian for a long time then you’ve probably heard and seen the “Bridge Illustration.” I know it by heart and still use it today. It’s convincing and has helped many people come to faith. But I always felt uncomfortable about it. It seemed trite and “too easy.” That’s where Choung’s work comes in handy. Without denigrating past attempts to explain the gospel in easy terms, Choung finds a new way for a new generation to explain it visually. I used it in worship one Sunday…but here’s his version below.
I enjoyed that illustration. Something to think about…
