Jerusalem

March 3, 2009 by miker 

The last two days have been overwhelming. We have been to the Garden of Gethesemene, walked down the Via Delarosa where Christ carried His cross to Calvary, stepped down to where His trial was held, where Jesus was imprisoned, and where tradition says He was crucifed and buried. On top of this we made our way to Masada where about a 1,000 Jewish Zealots held out against 15,000 Roman Soldiers for more than two years. It has been an amazing two days. How do I feel? In walking the Via Delarosa, spending time at Gesthemene, and walking with groups and people from all over the world and almost every language making their way into the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, I have it imprinted on me what Jesus, God with us, really did. In this jouirney I see the significance and tragedy of the nature of depth of sin that took such an act of God to redeem us from it, and I also see the amazing Grace and Love of God believing that such an act reveals so clearly the significance of God’s heart turned toward us. The cross is all sufficient to save us. No sin cannot be forgiven by this amazing Act and no life cannot be changed by this Amazing grace, not an intangible idea, bit a tangible cross of God.
for the cause of Christ ans shalom from Israel

    We prayed for you all tonight at praise band practice… the anticipation of your arrival is just about too much to take! We have prayed for your safety all along and for travel mercies. God bless all of you and please know that your church family adores you all. Thank you for the updates. I check often. I love the pictures and stories… I feel a part of me with you walking the streets of Jerusalem and touching the ground where Jesus must have walked. It takes my breath away. Again, thank you for sharing this experience. I can’t wait to hear and see more…

    Much love and many blessings your way!
