My dear friend, today we are meditating on John 1:51, where Jesus says, “You will see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” This verse echoes Jacob’s dream in the Old Testament, when he saw angels moving between heaven and earth. What does this mean? It shows us that Jesus is the true bridge between heaven and earth. Through Him we receive salvation, and through Him God’s plans and purposes for our lives are revealed and fulfilled.

There is a place in China called Heaven’s Gate, where millions of people travel each year. In 2023 alone, nearly 5 million visitors climbed 999 steps just to stand at the peak, hoping to glimpse what is called “the bridge between heaven and earth.” But here is the good news! We don’t need to struggle or climb to access heaven. When we believe in Jesus, we already have full access to the true and eternal bridge. He is our Advocate, as I John 2:1 reminds us. Just as He promised the repentant thief on the cross, “Today you will be with Me in paradise,” He stands ready to intercede for us whenever we stumble.

When we repent, Jesus restores us. When we are weak, He strengthens us. Each day we can ask Him, “Lord, what would You have me do today? How can I live according to Your will?” He will lead us away from temptation, keep us in His light, and guide us on heaven’s path. So, my dear friend, trust in Him. Include Him in every part of your life, and let Him be the bridge that carries you safely into the presence of God.

PRAYER: 
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for being the bridge between heaven and earth. Thank You for giving me salvation, for interceding on my behalf, and for guiding me in the way of eternal life. When I fall short, forgive me, Lord. When I feel weak, strengthen me. Help me to trust in You daily, to seek Your will, and to walk in Your path. Let my life reflect Your love, and help me to always remember that through You, heaven is open to me. I put my complete faith in You, my precious Saviour, my Advocate, and my Bridge. Amen.
