JESUS IS THE LADDER OF GOD

Genesis 28:10-12, John 1:50-51 (GNB)

…Jacob…lighted upon a certain place,…and lay down …to sleep. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.*Jesus said, … You will see much greater things than this!” …”I am telling you the truth: you will see heaven open and God’s angels going up and coming down on the Son of Man.”

In the encounter with God that Jacob had as he ran away from his brother, Esau, he saw heaven opened and there was a ladder connecting heaven to earth that had the angels of God ascending and descending on it. Do you know that that ladder was Jesus? In our second text above, Jesus told Nathaniel that he would see heaven open and he will see God’s angels ascending and descending upon Him (Jesus).

Just as that ladder connected Heaven to earth, Jesus came down to earth and He died to reconcile man to God. Now there can be a free flow of the operation of God’s angels and Heaven’s activities on the earth and in our lives. When He was on the earth Jesus experienced the operation of angels abundantly. From the announcing of his birth (Luke 1:26-27, Luke 2:8-11) to directing Joseph and Mary for accepting Mary (Matt.1:19-20) and also for their protection (Matt.2:13-14), to ministering strength to Him after He was tempted by the devil (Matt.4:11) and as He prayed before going to the Cross (Luke 22:41-44). Jesus also said He could ask the Father for 12 legions (27,000) of angels (Matt.26:53). Beloved, because you are in Him, you too will experience angels ascending and descending upon you. They will operate and minister in your life abundantly, (Heb.1:13-14).

Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank you that because of Jesus, Heaven is open over my life and I experience the abundant operations of angels.
