Easter Video - His Hands

I wanted to share this beautiful video with you.
 This past week in church two
 women sang this song and
 it made me weep.  It truly portrays the way
I feel about our Savior Jesus Christ
and the ultimate sacrifice He has made for all
of us.

A few years ago we had the priviledge of traveling

to Israel for Easter and Passover.  We were actually

flying into Jerusalem at sunrise on Easter morning.  I woke

up and looked out the window and saw the sun

coming up over the horizon.  

My mind immediately burst into song -

"He is risen, He is risen, shout it out with joyful voice,

He hath burst his three day prison ,

let the whole wide earth rejoice...."

What a priviledge to be able to travel to Israel,

to walk where Jesus walked.  It truly is a Holy Land

and you can feel that there.

We were also able to experience Passover, where

no bread or flour is allowed in the restaurants or

hotels - what an unusual experience that was for us.

We were able to partake of the Seder meal to end

the Passover at our hotel where Jewish families came

to celebrate their traditions and ate with us.

I was able to swim in the Dead Sea and in the

Sea of Galilee

 and to take a ship across that most

famous Sea of Galilee where Jesus did much of his

teaching.

I walked on the same temple steps that Christ

would have walked on. 

 I visited the Jordan River

where Jesus was baptized.

  As it were, "I walked

today where Jesus walked, and felt His presence there."

Of all of the traveling we have done,

nothing has been as life altering as a trip

to the Holy Land.  I was able to stand in the

 Garden Tomb

and pray for a confirmation that our Lord and Savior really

did rise from the tomb and manifest himself and
 because of that we will rise again one day to be with Him.

Reading the scriptures was never the same again

after having been there and seen and experienced it. 

This Easter, although bunnies and eggs are cute,

Jesus Christ is the reason for Easter and I am truly

grateful that

 He lives.

I Know That My Redeemer Lives.
