Saint Jerome once called the Holy Land the “Fifth Gospel”. Why? Because, when you walk where Jesus walked, and experience the places where he lived, taught, worked miracles, and rose from the dead, the Bible comes alive in amazing ways! From then on, whenever you read it, it’ll be like going from an old, black-and-white TV with fuzzy reception and rabbit ears (remember those?), to a brand-spanking-new, 4K Ultra High-Definition TV with a curved screen and all the bells and whistles!
I’ve had the privilege of visiting and studying in Israel in the past, and even worked on an archaeological dig in Jerusalem two summers in a row.
