Faith is life experienced in a spiritual disposition. It is in the presence of that which the human mind is aware of, that of which nothing greater is conceived of. Today I experienced it from the Mount of Olives through the Mountain top, Via Dolorosa through Christian, Muslim, and Jewish neighborhoods. The high point of today is the visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. I felt the presence. The emotion physically and emotionally was super. Like the Ethiopian eunuch and Philip after hearing the good news and coming across water, nothing is short of baptism. So I did at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher I jumped the line. It sounds cool and crazy. It means more to me than silver and gold. Yeah I did. It is real. It is a reality. I did not want to be another apostle John who ran to the tomb on Easter Sunday yet was afraid to jump in. Yes there is a Peter in me. I jumped in, what a blessing sharing in His glory.
The second highlight was lunch of hundreds of Shekels. As we continued through Via Dolorosa the thought of Jesus being sold for thirty Shekels gave me pulse. Was it so bad that the he collected thirty shekels then? Has anything changed on how we treats others? Or are we eager to get rid of them. May be the political leaders may reflect on the present situation with the eyes of faith.
This is a journey of grace and mercy. This study explores the six day war. How it redefines life in the state of Israel, Palestinian and its territory fifty years later. I am heart broken by the poor standard of living in the PT. You smell poverty and lack of integration or assimilation in the midst of the Children of Abraham. Jerusalem to whom shall we go? Salem oh Salem give peace to your children and your first inheritance. May peace be upon Jerusalem.
