| 0:30.8 | Well, today on Truth for Life, Alistair Begg begins a brand new series where he'll be taking a closer look at these revealing statements from Jesus. |
| 0:40.3 | We begin by considering the context behind Jesus' proclamation in John chapter 1, verse 51. |
| 0:48.3 | Genesis 28 and verse 10. |
| 0:59.5 | Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haram. |
| 1:04.5 | And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night because the sun had set. |
| 1:13.8 | Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed. And behold, there was |
| 1:22.6 | a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were |
