Jesus is the Stairway, in the same way He is the Gate.
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. (John 10:9)
It is through Him that the connection is made between Heaven and Earth. We see a much earlier picture of this 'Stairway to Heaven' in the Old Testament story of Jacob’s dream:
He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying.” (Genesis 28:12-13)
Jesus opens the door between Heaven and Earth. It is Jesus who then is the mechanism the angels use to come to and fro. It was Jesus who made the way for us to be with Him. And when it’s all said and done, it will be Jesus who opens the seal that spells the end of this earth and makes the way for our eternal destinies.
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
