Three-year-old Ryan had just been tucked into bed by his mother. He suddenly looked up at her and got a very serious look on his face and said, “There are no stairs up to heaven. How can we get up there?”
The family had been reading in the Bible about “Jacob’s ladder,” and Ryan must have been thinking about it. His mother explained to him that the Lord Jesus is the Way, and that He will come to take everyone who is saved up to heaven.
When Ryan was eight years old, he asked the Lord Jesus Christ to be his Saviour. Since then he has been trying to live in a way that is pleading to the Lord Jesus while he waits for Him to come. Ryan knows, and you should know, too, what the Lord Jesus promised His disciples. Read it for yourself in John 14:33And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:3)—“I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
