Christ, Who Became Our Ladder

Jesus gave himself as a ladder that stands always beside the steps of faith. The Creator came down to this earth, which he had made his footstool, and for the sake of sinners he cut himself into small pieces and drove in the nails, becoming a ladder.

Each Christian’s faith is different, yet whatever step one stands on, no one can climb without this ladder. Those who cling to the things of the world, determined to live by their own strength, and never set foot on the ladder can only end up back in the place of death.

On the day the angel’s trumpet sounds, this ladder will be gone forever. Before that day, while the opportunity to repent remains, one must take hold of the ladder and climb it to receive eternal life.
