Have you ever stood in a place which has a very rich history, and you either read or recount in your mind some of the great events which have occurred in that place in the past? Perhaps you’ve stood in Rome near the ruins of the Coliseum, or in Athens, or in Egypt near the pyramids or maybe you’ve had the remarkable privilege of being in Jerusalem!
Would you join me today, standing on the hills east of Jerusalem? Allow time to roll back, about 2000 years… look around, do you see and hear the crowds all around you? It’s the beginning of Passover week.
