[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Bridge Builder by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

Brian Reed served in a military unit in Baghdad, Iraq, in the fall of 2003.
He and his unit went on regular street patrols to protect neighborhoods and
build peace. It was often a thankless, fruitless assignment. Brian said his
unit battled low morale daily.

An exception came in the form of a church service his men stumbled upon. It
was filled with Arabic-speaking Coptic Christians who invited the soldiers
to partake in the Lord’s Supper with them. Brian wrote, “Celebrating the
Lord’s Supper and remembering Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins was the most
important bridge builder and wall destroyer we could have experienced.”

*Opposite yous*, brought together by the cross of Christ. This is how
happiness happens.
