Wow! What a day! While most everyone in the Eastern and Central US time zones were asleep I was walking where Jesus once did! We spent the day today sightseeing in Jerusalem. We visited the old City of David, south of the Temple Mount. We saw what may be the remains of David’s palace. We saw where Nehemiah once traversed the walls. But the most awe inspiring things were the Mount of Olives and the Temple Mount itself. This is where Jesus, the Creator of the universe, the King of kings and Lord of lords, the Savior of the world ACTUALLY walked!
Now, mind you, know one actually knows the exact location where Jesus prayed on the Mount of Olives, but I’m sure I was pretty close to it. To be able to look out at the Temple Mount and think that this is the view Jesus Himself would have had when He did the things He did gives so much more meaning to the verses I now read. I can picture it in my mind.
I firmly believe that the verses are all that one needs, but to be able to picture these places sure doesn’t hurt.
I will post a few pictures to let you all in on what I got to experience. Right now the Internet connection here is slow. I've tried for a while to upload some pics but maybe I will get them later tonight.
Continue to pray for Shannon and me as we will be apart for so long of a time.
Striving for the Goal…
