I watched The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which is a great movie, but not as good as the book by C. S. Lewis of the same name. Some of my favorite lines never made it into the movie...for instance, Aslan the great lion saying, "“But I will not tell you how long or short the way will be; only that it lies across a river. But do not fear that, for I am the great Bridge Builder.”
For those who haven't read the Narnia books, Aslan is representative of Jesus Christ. I love this quote because it reminds me that Jesus is the great Bridge Builder . He created a bridge from this world and separation from God to heaven and relationship beginning now with our Creator ...and the way He created it was through the cross.
" Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." -Romans 8:1-2

"The love of God has no meaning apart from Calvary. And Calvary has no meaning apart from the holy and just wrath of God. Jesus did not die just to give us peace and a purpose in life, He died to save us from the wrath of God. He died to reconcile us to a holy God who was alienated from us because of our sin. He died to ransom us from the penalty of in - the punishment of everlasting destruction, shut out from the presence of the Lord. He died that we, the just objects of God's wrath, should become, by His grace, heirs of God and co-heirs with Him.
Do you have that assurance that your past, present, and future sins are forgiven by Christ Jesus because of what He did on the cross? If not, you can. In I John 1:9 we read, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." "(15 Minutes Alone With God
