In our podcast this week, Fr. John and Danny take two posts from Genesis 28 and combine them to reflect on Jacob’s dream at Bethel, where he sees a ladder reaching from earth to heaven with angels ascending and descending. The vision contrasts Babel’s human attempt to reach God with Jacob’s experience of divine grace, showing that access to God comes as a gift rather than human effort. The ladder becomes a powerful symbol throughout Christian tradition, pointing ultimately to Christ as the true bridge between heaven and earth. Jacob’s encounter reminds us that God’s presence and promises are given even when we feel undeserving, inviting us into worship and trust.
