“I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth.” John 1:51
“Jesus doesn’t show you the steps to get to heaven–Jesus is the steps to heaven… He comes to us not in spite of our failings– but precisely because of them. Ours is the God who is drawn to those who feel down. Ours is the God who is attracted to those who feel abandoned. Ours is the God who is bound to those who feel broken. Everywhere stairways for the sinners, everywhere ladders for the lost, everywhere gateways to God. This is grace.”
