It's my third consecutive Good Friday in Golgotha and 33rd visit to Jerusalem! What can I say. I Just want to thank God for enabling me achieve this marvelous feat. I have always entererd Jerusalem from south. Approaching Jerusalem from Beer Sheva is an amazing experience. While you climb the steep Highway 1 surrounded by pine-forests on each side, slowly emerges a city neighbourhood outlined by hills.The feeling perhaps fits with the Psalmists reference: "As the mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so the LORD [is] round about his people from henceforth even for ever"(Psalms 125: 2). Once you are inside Jerusalem, it doesn't matter if the city is congested, crowded or noisy; what prevails is its powerful history and sacredness beautifully blended with the emotions of millions carried out through generations. All I can say is once you are in the Holy City, you are becoming part of it's eternity.
