John 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Yes, to our faith this
sight is plain even at this day. We do see heaven opened. Jesus Himself
has opened that kingdom to all believers.
We gaze into the place of
mystery and glory, for He has revealed it to us.
We shall enter it soon,
for He is the way.
Now we see the
explanation of Jacob's ladder. Between earth and heaven there is a holy
commerce; prayer ascends, and answers come down by the way of Jesus, the
Mediator.
We see this ladder when we see our LORD.
In Him a stairway of
light now furnishes a clear passage to the throne of the Most High. Let
us use it and send up by it the messengers of our prayers.
We shall
live the angelic life ourselves if we run up to heaven in intercession,
lay hold upon the blessings of the covenant, and then descend again to
scatter those gifts among the sons of men.
This choice sight which
Jacob only saw in a dream will turn into a bright reality.
This very
day we will be up and down the ladder each hour: climbing in communion
and coming down in labor to save our fellowmen.
This is Thy promise, O
LORD Jesus; let us joyfully see it fulfilled.
~Charles Spurgeon~
