STAIR TO HEAVEN
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you want to be with your Father in heaven?
I tell you the truth, there is a stair for the brethren
When Jesus comes back, you will see heaven open
The angels of the Lord going up and down often.
Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father
He is the stair to heaven, don’t look further
If you follow him and obey his commands
You will receive the fulfillment of his big plan.

My piano teacher’s brother taught me to play “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin. It was a very hard piece for a beginner to learn but he was relentless for me to learn it. Because no one in my family was a Christian, I didn’t know any better. This rock music was one of the most popular in the last forty years, but if you play it backwards, you might find satanic messages in it.
In John 1:51, he refers to a different stair to heaven. He refers to Jesus Christ as the only way, the truth and the giver of eternal life.

How can we ensure that we are taking the right stair to heaven?
