--JESUS IS SON OF MAN AND SON OF GOD ~~

--"Stairway to Heaven~"

--"The Son of Man...is the stairway between heaven and earth."
---[John 1:51/ NLT] --

--While in Paris, my husband and I visited the famous Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-Elysees. We climbed the 284 stairs to reach the top, and when we emerged, we relished the panoramic view of the city.

In the Old Testament, Jacob dreamed of a stairway that reached from earth to heaven (Genesis 28:12-15). Angels ascended and descended on the structure. God stood at the top (v.13).

Centuries later, Jesus referenced a staircase like the one in Jacob's dream. He told His listeners, "you will see greater things than this. ...You will....see. .angels of God going up; and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth? (John 1:50-51 / NLT) Jesus was teaching the disciples that He was (and is) the way to get to heaven (John 14:6). We can't reach God on our own.

Jesus takes away our sin when we believe in Him. If you know Jesus, you can look forward to spending eternity with Him. If you don't know Him, consider the One who died for you--your personal "stairway to heaven."

Jesus said, "I and My Father are One." --[John 10:30]
