The Garden tomb may very well be my most favorite place in Jerusalem so far. The people that run it are here because they love Christ. It's really quite remarkable, they have such firm faith and enthusiasm it's inspiring! The volunteer tour guides clearly love to tell people about Christ and do what they do to proclaim that Christ lives! They don't charge for their tours and they don't get caught up in the "did it really happen RIGHT here" business. Their goal is to show the people of the world an EMPTY tomb. People can't come here to Jerusalem to find the burial grounds of Jesus Christ. Because "He is not here, for He is risen."

That is one of my favorite of all quotes in scripture. What a triumphant statement! Christ, the first-fruits of them that slept, did break the bands of death and extends the gift of the Resurrection to all of us! And there you are next to it, with your radiant, smiling face. You get to be there where it happened! And your tour guides have the right spirit about it. That is awesome. I envy you. And great pictures! This may be my favorite of your posts so far :).
