Revealing Jesus in Scripture | Bible in a Year

Today we read chapters 27 and 28 of Genesis, including Jacob's blessing from Isaac and Jacob's vision. This heavenly ladder and the descending of angels is a comparison to Jesus that He Himself makes in the book of John, and it reflects the heavenly nature of Jesus and how He is the cornerstone of His church.
