I read a quote this morning that the cross is not a ladder by which we climb up into heaven.

I like that statement because it takes the focus off of us an onto Christ.

In other religions, everything is essentially about climbing up to God (if God even exists to climb up to).

Christianity is unique in that it's all about God coming down to us.
