Can you think of anything better than this? The tomb was empty when the disciples went there expecting to find Jesus' body.
In 1978 we had the privilege of visiting the Holy Land. We were in Jerusalem on a Sunday and Hubby had the honor of offering the communion meditation at the Garden Tomb. Here is the picture I took of him and some other pictures we took there in the Garden.
Inside the tomb. Of course no one knows if this was the tomb where the body of Jesus was laid, but it possibly could be. If not, it would be very similar to the actual one.
That must have been wonderful to have actually been there.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Easter.

Every Sunday is special to me but that one occupies an extra special place. Thanks for posting these pictures. They bring back good memories.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, Charlotte. I can only imagine what it must have felt like to actually be there. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! How wonderful, Charlotte! What a fabulous opportunity. I'd love to see where He rose from the dead! I have a piece of a rock that was from an excavation site in the Holy Land where he walked. Someone gave it to me as a gift, and I treasure it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful memory with us. I wish you and that hubby of yours a wonderful Easter.
ReplyDeleteIf you can, would you email me the specifics when Josh McDowell is coming to your church? Is it open to everyone? If I'm in town on the dates, and I can make it to the city, I would like to consider it if it's open to the public.
Charlotte,
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a very special Easter for you and Clif. I'm sure you have treasured memories of it and the pictures, too, to remind you. A very Happy Easter to you and Clif.

Hi Charlotte,
ReplyDeleteSeeing these pictures brought back so many memories for me as I visited the Holy Land in spring of 1976. My life and walk with the Lord has never been the same. I know you both were also very blessed. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you and your family a most blessed and joyous Happy Resurrection Sunday.
