Empty Tomb
Today we went to the garden tomb site. I loved what the guide had to say about the tomb and about the mysticism that is so prevalent in this land. There are those who come to the tombs and leave prayers wedged into the walls similar to the Western wall. They also leave flowers and articles of clothing. The guide simply said that they clean them out. He said Jesus isn't in the tomb anymore. He's risen. He said you can take Jesus into the cave and out of the cave because he's no longer there. It was really refreshing to hear a messianic message finally. My defenses have been up due to all the different religions being pushed upon me.
