Stairway to Earth | Reimagining Jacob’s Ladder
In this episode we look at the story of Jacob's Ladder (or the Stairway to Heaven) found in Genesis 28. Oftentimes, this passage could be used to show that heaven is above and earth is below and the goal is to get from the earth below to heaven above.
But what if we look closely at what happens in this story?
What does Jacob name as the 'House of God'?
In which direction are the angels going?
What implications does this have for the places and spaces in which we operate and exist? The physical places and spaces, the relational space between one another, and the mental space in which we exist.
Also...I might have read some good lyrics by The Dave Matthews Band for all you kids who grew up in the 90s!
Enjoy!
