Faith's Check Book, Daily
Entry
C. H. Spurgeon
A Staircase to Heaven
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. (John 1:51)
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.
