A
LADDER REACHING HEAVEN
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: A ladder was there standing
on the ground with its top reaching to heaven; and there were angels of God going
up it and coming down. (Genesis 28:10-22)
Reflection. Jacob’s dream of a ladder
reaching heaven is referred to by Jesus (John 1:51). It is a confirmation to
Jacob of God’s intention already announced to Abraham: He is going to tear the
heavens apart and come down and dwell among us. He is going to break down the barrier
that cuts us off. Bethel (House of God) is to be the new name for the place
Jacob rested that night. The revelation would take time to sink into the mind
and heart of the people just as it takes time for each of us to realise how
close God is to us and how much he longs to dwell in us. Jacob saw angels going
up and coming down the ladder and such is our relationship with Jesus. He comes
to us and we are invited to meet him in the events of our day.
Prayer. Lord, teach us to know your
coming today. You meet us on the way. Let us recognise you. Amen.
