Holy Lands Update 2

Wow! What a day! One highlight was worshiping in a church inside the walls of the old city of Jerusalem. The church was built out of stone and when we sang the sound reverberated with glory. It was inspiring and beautiful. People were walking in off the streets to listen to the music of Christians worshiping our Lord and Savior. I wish I could send pictures but we were not allowed to take any. We also saw the pool of Bethesda recorded in John 5 where Jesus told the lame man to rise and walk when the man said he could not be healed because no one could put him in the pool. A couple of pictures of that place are below. Then finally we went to the Empty Tomb! It was inspiring and humbling. We worshiped and took communion together and it was a fitting end to an awesome day.

He is risen. He is alive!

What an awesome and humbling experience that must have been. I'm certain the Lord was exalted with your worship! Aurora
