Day 2 Recap

As mentioned previously, I'm not going to even try to give a bunch of detail from every single sight we visit. Instead, I'll do a quick recap of what we saw and the passages from the Bible related to it, and then highlight one thing. When I say that we visited these places, I mean we visited all of them, not just drove through. At each of these, we got off the bus, heard from Tony about the history, and heard from John from the Scriptures, too. Wow.

WHERE WE WENT TODAY
All of these places are around the Sea of Galilee, which is basically our headquarters right now. It's maybe a quarter mile or so from our hotel. We can see it from our room....

Mount Of Beatitudes (Matthew 4:18-7:29)--Incredible view overlooking the Sea Of Galilee
Korazin--"Woe to you, Korzin!" (Matthew 11:21)
Capernaum--Jesus's headquarters of a good bit of his ministry (Luke 17:1-10, Mark 2:1-12, John 4:46-54, Peter's home, Feeding of 5,000)
Tabgha--Church that's on the traditional sight where Peter's restoration by Jesus in John 21 took place ("Do you love me? Feed my sheep.")
region of Gerasenes--where Jesus cast the demons out of Legion (Luke 8:26-39)
Migdal (Magdala)--home of Mary Magdalene--had a lunch of fish from the Sea Of Galilee
Sea Of Galilee--much happened here...we took a boat ride on it. The teaching today was on the calming of the storm (Mark 4:35-41).

Here we are on the boat on the Sea Of Galilee.



Heading to dinner now, I'll post some thoughts about today's teaching after dinner.
