Today we saw many Old Testament sites. We drove up Mt Carmel to the traditional place of Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal in front of the nation of Israel. From this high point, a spectacular view of the Valley of Armageddon.
This afternoon we visited Nazareth and saw the cave beneath the Church of the Annunciation, the traditional site of Mary's visitation by the angel Gabriel. "With God, all things are possible."
We also visited the synagogue where Jesus began His ministry. He stood in the synagogue, after returning from the wilderness of temptation in the power of the Spirit, took up the scroll of Isaiah and read, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me..."
We also visited Caesarea, the place where the Spirit of the Lord was poured out on the Gentiles in Cornelius' house. May we also go in the power of the Spirit to preach the gospel to the poor, heal the broken hearted, proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed ... in the same power of the same Spirit.
Really enjoying the journey,
David
