Of all the international trips that I have made, none rises to the level of significance for me personally than does the one to the Holy land, especially Jerusalem. Jeanette and I have always wished for the right opportunity to come along and now the moment has arrived and we will spend three months there soon, God be willing.
I recognize that this area of the world is arguably the most divisive, emotionally charged, yet vitally important real estate in the world. I choose not to venture down the tempting lane of international politics as there is no possible opinion that I could express, one way or another, that would meet with universal acceptance from my readers. I therefore prefer to adhere to my main reason for visiting and that is to walk some of the paths and absorb a taste of what my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did two thousand years ago and to share it with others through this medium.
Besides our social commitments to the convent that will host us for three months, I know that our in-house Executive Travel Consultant, Jeanette, has in store, well researched objectives for our activity encompassing sightseeing, culture, cuisine and getting to know some of the people who are drawn to that area from around the world, as well as those who call it home.
Choosing El Al Airlines to fly us from Canada to Israel was a “no-brainer” for us, despite a higher cost, and I anticipate that when we eventually land at Tel Aviv, it will be the beginning of an adventure like no other. We will be staying on the Via Dolorosa, the path believed to have been taken by the condemned Christ on His way to the cross and just a five-minute walk to the sacred Temple Mount.
I hope that you will come along with us for what could be for me, from October to December next,
a life-impacting immersion into, not just history, but Biblical import. I am still unsure what approach I will take in creating my blogs of this special experience but this I do know - it is likely going to be a challenge to convey the inner emotions I am certain to encounter there.
Note: Please take a look at the three blogs that follow as well as the one on Petra, Jordan.
