Message 6: Jesus is the Ladder connecting Heaven and Earth
Christ is a ladder connecting heaven and earth (John 1:51). This means that He can supply us to live a heavenly life on earth. When Jacob was running away in desperation from a difficult family situation, God appeared to Him in a dream and spoke heavenly things to that earthly man (Genesis 28:10-22). He injected heaven into Jacob’s life. Jacob saw the house of God, heard the speaking of God, and tasted the fear of God. It took many years for Jacob to realize what exactly that vision meant, but he eventually lived it toward the end of his life. This is what Jesus, as the heavenly ladder, does for us. He elevated us, causes us to live a life for Him, and causes us to be different from all the worldly things.
John 1:51 - "And He said to him, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.'"
Psalm 84:10 - "For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness."
