Jerusalem - The Heart of the Biblical World



During our recent trip to Jordan, I was blessed to visit the most controversial city on Earth: Jerusalem. Rebuilt eighteen times, a place familiar with bloodshed and division, the "City of Peace" is unlike no other place on the planet.
.
Since my visit to the Land of the Bible, reading the Word takes on meaning that it did not have before. It's not that I believe more than I did before. It's just that I can picture the written events taking place in a way that I could not before. I can picture the battles, the discussions, the miracles.
.
It's like hearing about the Gettysburg events. Before I visited Gettysburg, of course I believed those events took place. But, when I walked on the very fields, I could visualize what before had just been historical words on paper.
