Today we started out with the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem. It was very emotional and very moving to hear how 6 million Jews were murdered for no other reason than being a Jew. They took us to a children's memorial and outside of the memorial they had a slab of rock with rebar sticking up out of it. The reason is that rebar is used in a foundation, but when the children were destroyed there was no foundation!
I see the United States doing almost the same thing with the murder of millions of unborn babies! We are destroying the foundation and heritage that God has blessed us with!
Something interesting is that we are here during the Feast of Weeks in Israel! Many of you might recognize that as the Feast of Pentecost. I thought it was exciting because we were able to go this afternoon to the upper room where Jesus and his disciples ate the last supper, and where the Holy Spirit fell on the Day of Pentecost!
Our day ended today at the Garden Tomb with communion! What a sense of humility and love that I felt as I stood in the place where Jesus rose from the dead!
This has been the most significant experience in my Christian life this far! I don't know what God has in store for my life, but my desire is to follow him for the rest of it!
Blessings,
Pastor Jason
