This morning we went to Sepphoris where we saw mosaics from early Roman synagogues. We saw other stuff too, and I toiok lots of pictures. We went to Nazareth and to the Basilica of the Annunciation. We went across the street to the Sisters of Nazareth. They have beneath their church part of a house from the time of Jesus. They said that Jesus lived in Nazareth for 30 years and there were 40 houses in Nazareth, so there was a good chance that He entered that house. We were all thrilled and delighted, bothin Sepphoris and in this house, to walk along the same paths that Jesus must have walked.
Also at the Sisters of Nazareth, we saw a tomb of the approximate size and from the same time as Jesus's. The stone had been rolled away, and this stone was much smaller than we often think of JC's tombstone as being.
The day was long and full of walking, but the most significant things were being in the same places as Jesus.
We had a discussion this morning about effective and productive mission. That will be outlined in a paper.
Going to bed now; excited about tomorrow and our planned boatride on the Sea of Galilee.
