Today we saw the Jesus boat. It is a 1st century fishing boat. It is the kind that would have been used at the time of Jesus. It is remarkable how it was found. It was sticking out of the water in the Sea of Gallilee during low water. It was painstakingly excavated using unique methods. It is said the boat would seat 13 people. We also took a cruise on the Sea of Gallilee. We stopped and read from passages were Jesus saw his disciples struggling against the wind on the water. Jesus walks toward them and scares them. They thought he was a ghost. We have a communion service on the boat, that was very moving. We have had a full day of pilgrimage, study and reflection. My body is weary, but Jesus is revealing more of himself to me. I am blessed with wonderful pastors and teachers on this trip. Tomorrow we go to Ceaserea Phillipi. Blessings to you.
If anyone wants a wonderful place to stay on pilgrimage, I highly recommend the Pilgerhaus on the Sea of Gallilee, great food, great place.
