Holy Land visits bring Bible alive
On this day of Holy Week, I thought it would be interesting to talk to someone who had actually visited the Holy Land. So I found someone who had been there six times! Rev. Danny Bullock, who currently serves as pastor of Antioch West Baptist Church, fulfilled a long-time desire of visiting the Holy Land, then had opportunity to return five more times with various groups.
Visiting the actual area where the events of the Bible took place is a life-changing experience. It helps one to better understand the Bible by seeing the geographical background behind it.
As we think about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, one of the central locations would be Golgotha and the nearby garden tomb where the body of Jesus was laid. The traditional location of the "Place of the Skull" and the tomb are marked by a shrine, but a more recent site is known as Gordon's Calvary. Bro. Danny will discuss these sites and more in today's podcast. Take a listen by clicking the play button below.
My wife and I were fortunate enough to go with Danny on this trip. What a blessing it was. The Bible came to life for us. We’ve been fortunate enough to travel to many different countries, but this trip to the holy land was the best we’ve ever had.
