Yesterday, on day 5, we left Jerusalem and headed to the Galilee. We love our tranquil hotel setting on the edge of the Sea of Galilee. We spent a couple hours late each afternoon, after our tour day ends, relaxing by the beach or on our patio looking out at the water. It is so much fun to reflect on what we have just studied during the day, and to look ahead to the next day. And the pace was so different than Jerusalem. Each location has it's own special appeal.
Here's our itinerary for day 6:
1- We started day 6 by hopping on the bus and heading north along the Sea of Galilee. We had a very little travel today. I think you will be surprised by how small the Galilee area where Jesus ministered really is.
2- Our morning was spent visiting 3 key cities on the north shore of Galilee Matthew 11 tells us that Bethsaida, Korazin, and Capernaum were cursed because Jesus did most of his miracles here, and the people did not repent. These 3 towns were part of the “Orthodox triangle” in Jesus’ day. They were filled with devout Jews who took the Law seriously. And Bethsaida was home to at least 3 of the disciples…and maybe 5. Today all 3 of these towns are ruins that contain many lessons for us.
3- In the afternoon we drove to the Mount of Beatitudes where we walked down the hill to the edge of the water. I LOVE this easy hike…gives me a great picture of all the times Jesus and his disciples were on the move walking and talking.
