When a person recognizes they need God at some point in their life, they stand at the base of the ladder to Heaven. They start climbing up then they realize they can't get there. There's something weighing them down - a spiritual backpack if you will. In that backpack is sin and guilt, and it pulls us in the opposite direction to Hell. And a gracious, loving friend, Jesus, is looking down. He sees us in that moment of struggle knowing that we can't make it to Him. And He came down that ladder and rescued you and me. That is what a friend will do!
