It was a day of Agony. We went to Mt. Olives where so many times Jesus retreated to for reflection and to look over Jerusalem. We then went to Gethseme where Jesus prayed before He went to the cross. As you remember Gethseme means an olive press. Christ was pressed and crushed for our sins. It was a very moving moment to reflect that the weight of the sins of the world were to be cast upon our Savior. We are free because Jesus was crushed for us.
We left there and went to Yad Vashem which is a memorial to the Holocaust. Yad Vashem means to remember the name. One of the reasons they opened this memorial is to retrieve the names of those that died in the Holocaust. We must remember as painful as it is that there is evil in the world. That there are evil people that do awful things to other people. The answer of course is our Savior that changes our hearts and the hearts of those that do evil. It was a day of agony. It was a day to remember that our Savior suffered and the people of Israel have suffered. One day christ is coming back to set the record straight. Amen!
