A preacher was driving home one night with his
wife and two daughters in the car. It was raining
and dark and because of the intensity of the
rain he could hardly see past his headlights. On
the way he had to drive over a huge bridge.
There were signs posted all along the bridge that
said "DO NOT PICK HITCH-HIKERS." There was
an institute for the criminally insane near the
base of the bridge and sometimes people would
escape from it and try to hitch a ride.
On this particular night, as he turned his car on
to the bridge, he had to drive exceptionally slow
because he could hardly see the road.
Somewhere near the top of the bridge a man
suddenly appeared in the headlights. He was
soaked, standing in the middle of the road with
his shirt off frantically waving it over his head
and screaming.
This preacher's wife began to say, "Oh please
don't stop, try to drive around him!" But the man
was unavoidable and there was nowhere for the
car to go to miss him. So he had to stop the car
and as soon as he did, the man slapped his
hand down on the hood of the car and was
screaming at the top of his lungs.
The preacher looked over at his wife and said to
lock the door after him and not to unlock it until
he returned. His family was now crying and
pleading with him not to get out of the car. He
opened the door and stepped outside...He was
immediately soaked from the rain. As he
approached the front of the car to grab the
man, all of a sudden he could make out what
the man was screaming, "THE BRIDGE IS OUT!
THE BRIDGE IS OUT! A BUS LOAD OF KIDS
JUST WENT OVER!" As these words registered in
the pastor's mind, he looked back in the car at
his wife and two daughters. He wrapped his arm
around the man and wept in gratitude. The
preacher stood there with the man for the next
half-hour in the middle of the road, waving his
jacket above his head screaming."THE BRIDGE
IS OUT! THE BRIDGE IS OUT!"
For a lost and a dying world,
"THE BRIDGE IS OUT!"
For a people heading to a Christless Eternity,
"THE BRIDGE IS OUT!"
where are the men and the women who will
stand in the middle of the road and forbid
people to perish ?
HELL HAS OPENED IT'S MOUTH WIDE AND
MANY ARE SPEEDING INTO IT
Where are those who will stand in the gap, on
the streets, the highways and the byways to
forbid multitudes with the Gospel of JESUS
CHRIST from going to such a horrible place ?
