Behold, the tomb is empty..i know..I took a picture.{ -;

Here is Christ Jesus's tomb..I quickly pulled out my camera when in Israel..and shot the photo..Yes..it's empty..

This is actually inside the cave...Right outside of this cave is the garden of Joseph of Arimathaea..
Right directly on top of this cave is the Skull of the Rock..His tomb is below the ..on the bottom.

No doubt in my mind that it is empty!!! But that don't mean he's dead, No sir my Jesus is alive.
Chuck can you describe the feeling on being in that scared place??

God Bless ya'll

Yes sir,

It was in 1997. I had been fasting for a day or 2 I actually forget but I made this statement to my wife..."There is nothing in this world that I covet..except to go to Israel."

The very next day..a Christian neighbor knocks on our door and says,"Would anyone like to go to Israel?" I smiled at my wife and said ,"Yes." She said it cost 1500.00. My smile left as we didn't have that kind of money in 1997. She came back and said ."What about 490.00/ I said yes maam. I happened to be teaching Bible in a local Methodist church at he time..They got word and had a bake sale..and raised every penny..I went by myself on a tour with about 70 others..most were pastors of various denominations..

When the plane landed in Televi..I was taken to a motel on the Sea of Galilee..I woke very early as I do all the time and walked down alone to the 37mile circular sea..When I realized what Jesus had done in my life since I was a sinner{ Obviously even this trip was part of God's plan for my life} I just started crying..i cried nearly none stop for 8 days as I felt His presence non-stop..Each day a minister would be chosen to speak at important sites..stc..the Garden of gethsamenee etc..for about a 5min. devotional.I was chosen to preach a sermon at the tomb where Christ had risen..and serve commuion.What a privledge that was..

Feeling ? my friend I was on a natural high that even lasted about 3 months after I went back to the USA. His presence is felt everywhere.

thanks for asking..

Thanks Brother Chuck, Since Fall 2003 when i finally got my soul right and my life going the right way, There is nothing better than to hear what GOD has done for other folks and the way they felt when GOD touched them...

Thanks for sharing
GOD Bless you,

Thanks for the edifying reply brother David..I'm so glad that you are walking with Him. Another big thing that going to Israel helped was ..when I read the New Testament I can actually see those places .they are still very clear in my heart.
