Thoughts and Happenings on Loving God & Neighbor
AN EMPTY TOMB & AN OVERFLOWING NET (Lessons from the Holy Land)
by Pastor Herbie Miller, Philadelphia Presbyterian Church For the past nine weeks, Pastor Jason and I have shared our summer pilgrimage to the Holy Land with you. Through pictures, personal reflections, and references to the Bible, history, and current events,...
THE WAY (Lessons from the Holy Land)
Forty yards. That’s it. Forty yards.The ancient town of Capernaum isn’t readily known as Jesus’ hometown. It’s not Nazareth or even Bethlehem, but for most of Jesus’ ministry, Capernaum appears to have been something of his home base. Now when Jesus heard that...
THE GATES OF HADES (Lessons from the Holy Land)
by Herbie Miller (Philadelphia Presbyterian Church) In today’s post, we travel to Caesarea Philippi in northern Israel. The site of Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Messiah, Caesarea Philippi was also home to an active sanctuary to the Greek god Pan. Join me as we...
THE GALILEE (Lessons from the Holy Land)
“Is that a millstone?!?!” I cried as I stepped down the bank of the Sea of Galilee. The large, freshwater lake dominates not only the northern region of Israel but also the life of Jesus, and when I saw that large millstone in the water, I couldn’t help but remember...
THE TEMPLE (Lessons from the Holy Land)
On our third day in Jerusalem, we spent the morning at the Temple. Rather than being just one building, the Temple is a complex with multiple structures that comprise this sacred space. These structures give us different windows into the history and religious...
MORE THAN A CARPENTER? (Lessons from the Holy Land)
“But Jesus was a carpenter!” I yelled in my head, unable to believe what I just heard. There we were standing on the ruins of Zippori, and my childhood image of Jesus was fast falling apart. Zippori — or Sepphoris, as some call the place — is an ancient Greco-Roman...
THE OUTSIDER (Lessons from the Holy Land)
“Are you going to the West Bank?”I got that nervous question a lot the weeks before heading over to the Holy Land. The West Bank is named that because it technically sits on the western bank of the Jordan River. But, of course, that’s not why people were concerned I...
THE DESERT (Lessons from the Holy Land)
On Saturday, July 2, our group drove northwest from Jerusalem, past Jericho, to the traditional site of Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River. To get from Jerusalem to the Jordan River, we had to drive through the Judean desert. Unlike the Arabian desert with its...
The Water (Lessons from the Holy Land)
“Water is life.” That’s a phrase I heard over and over in Israel. From our tour guide Gary’s continually reminding us to take our water bottle everywhere we went. To his pointing out the cisterns that were used to sustain life in ancient Israel. Let me just say, as a...
LAND (Lessons from the Holy Land)
THE LAND “Don’t forget your water!” blasted the bus’s loudspeaker. It was Day 8 or so of our trip to Israel, and it was hot. Today, we planned to visit the ancient city of Laish, a once-walled fortress about an hour’s drive north of the Sea of Galilee. I had gotten...
