Jesse Tree Day 6 || We cannot reach God on our own — Jesus is the ladder that helps us reach heaven.
In his dream, Jacob dreamed of angels ascending and descending a ladder from heaven to earth. When he woke, he knew Jesus was in “this place” and he “did not know it.” While there is no physical ladder between heaven and earth, Jesus comes to be the ladder for us — the graces that flow through his Resurrection (through the Sacraments!) are the “rungs” through which we can reach heaven.
Jacob was unaware that God was in “this place,” how often do we forget to seek out God’s presence in our own lives? Seek him out this Advent!
