Israel/Jordan Thoughts
Overall though, I would say that just seeing all the places where God worked out His purposes was what struck me. From a 4,000 year old gate that Abraham likely walked through in Tel Dan, to all the other Old Testament Tels, to Bethlehem where Jesus was born, to Nazareth where he grew up, to Capernaum, to Jerusalem, to Caesarea where Peter and Cornelius showed that the gospel story was for Gentiles too, and Philip told the story to Greek and Roman officials, soldiers, and sailors, and where Paul stood up before Felix and Festus and King Agrippa…… you get the idea!

P.S. School-wise I’m taking two courses this summer. One is the Israel/Jordan trip – I just need to write a couple of papers on it before the end of July. The other is an online course I’m doing through the Toronto School of Theology called “Celtic Christianity”. It’s great so far and I hope to have some things to share over the coming weeks.

Since we got back from our trip, a lot of people have asked me what the highlight was. It seems like a bit of a cop out to say I’d have to make it a top five (maybe more), but it’s awfully difficult to single things out. Having a worship service on a boat in the middle of the Sea of Galilee was definitely one of the top five. So was looking at the Promised Land from the top of Mount Nebo in Jordan – the same view that Moses would have had all those years ago.
