Climbing Jacob's Ladder?

If you ask people today what they think the Bible is about, you’ll probably be told that it’s a collection of morality tales that encourages people to behave. Even many of those raised in Christian homes tend to think of Scripture primarily as a helpful guide that tries to steer us in the right direction. But in the latter part of John’s opening chapter, we’re told that the ultimate message found throughout the law of Moses and the writings of the prophets actually relates to the coming of Jesus Christ. In short, the Bible’s big picture is not about our ascent to God, but of God’s descent to us in the person of his Son.
