Holy Land experience like no other




Everything you do or say
should be done to obey Jesus your Lord.

Colossians 3:17


Mary and Mary [Magdalene] knew a task had to be done - Jesus' body had to be prepared for burial. Peter didn't offer to do it. Andrew didn't volunteer.... So the two Marys decide to do it....

I wonder if halfway to the tomb they had sat down and reconsidered. What if they'd looked at each other and shrugged, "What's the use?" What if they had given up? What if one had thrown up her arms in frustration and bemoaned, "I'm tired of being the only one who cares. Let Andrew do something for a change. Let Nathaniel show some leadership."

Whether or not they were tempted to, I'm glad they didn't quit. That would have been tragic. You see, we know something they didn't. We know the Father was watching. Mary and Mary thought they were alone. They weren't. They thought their journey was unnoticed. They were wrong. God knew

For the start of Easter break Rella went to Holy Land with her Grandma it was a girls night out trip and Grandma wanted Rella to experience this first hand before Easter . Wow the photos and the story's that Rella told me and with excitement was amazing. Rella among others were speechless with what they saw and that Jesus ( the actor) was so real life it made them cry. I had to stay home with the baby cause she had a ear infection and it was way to hot for her . But Hubby and I will make a trip over summer to see it ourselves but Rella said that Jesus stoped her a number of times and said she was a gift from him and my mom said it was priceless and the analogy's that were used for the children to understand were awesome so click here and you can experience the web site and make a trip with your family and experience the Bible scene by scene. We teach our children about the Bible and Jesus and this was amazing to see and be taught up close and personal.

he has risen amen.
