Summary
Jesus pursues us before we pursue Him, knows us completely in our brokenness, and reveals Himself as the ladder connecting heaven to earth. Through John 1, the pastor shows why Jesus is uniquely worthy of allegiance—not because of human achievement, but because of divine pursuit and sacrificial love.
Highlights
The greatest desire in every human's life is to be fully known and fully loved. Only Jesus can look at your wretchedness and your brokenness and your sin and call you to holiness and beauty.
In every other worldview, you need to climb up the ladder to get to God. But Jesus is saying: climb onto me. He climbed down the ladder and presented himself to you.
The greatest thing that Jesus did was reveal himself to us. He's not calling you to climb up the ladder—he's the ladder that connects heaven to earth.
