One of the hardest things about being a preacher is getting ahold of something interesting and not being able to use it in a sermon. Well you guessed it, I came back across some information that I'm not going to be able to use this Sunday so you get it today.
What in the world is Jacob's ladder all about in Genesis 28:10-15?
10 Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. 11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. 12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: “I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. 14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” (NKJV)
Is this simply the product of poor pillow selection or something more?
The something more is Jesus Christ. Did you know Jacob's Ladder is Jesus Christ?
See John 1:51 and tell me what you think
51 And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” (NKJV)

WHAT NKJV??? How can this be in an ESVonlyism commune???
I know I know, it was difficult but I didn't want to get up and get my trusty ESV and I could access the NKJV online. Unfortunately the elite are often inaccessible.
