Shalom everyone, today became another interesting “Quo Vadis” day, after working all morning, dealing with what appeared to be little “gnats,” (the Lord was just preparing my heart for what He was going to show me this afternoon). At one point, I needed to go over to the Jaffa gate (Old City), to the Christian Information Center (it turned out to be a Catholic facillty run by Franciscan monks. I got my info and turned to leave, when I saw a poster about a special exhibit regarding the “Shroud of Turin” at the Notre Dame Center (15 minute walk from my hotel). I decided to spend a good part of my afternoon there, and for almost an hour, I was able to view one of only two exhibits in the world, by my self (the real “Shroud” in Turin, France has not even been seen by a Pope in three years). Part of the exhibit has a full size copy of the “Shroud,” a bronze life size statue of Jesus (lying like He would have in the “Shroud”), a true to life hologram,
ect. To actually view things close up and see the over 720 wounds on His Body that the “Shroud” reveals (it is worse than what was shown in the movie “The Passion”), I could not help but well up with tears. Then came another Divine appointment, a dear group of spanish speaking tourist came into the exhibit with a tour guide, explaining and showing things that I had not seen (my poor little grade school spanish, only caught enough to have some questions). The guide was the last to leave, the Lord prompted me to ask if she spoke english, she did, and answered all my questions (we also discovered some things in the exhibit that she had not seen before). 🙂 On my way back to the hotel, I stopped for dinner at a real Chinese restaurant (only thing open because it is Shabot). Another Divine appointment, the night clerk had come on duty, he asked what I had done today, and I told him. 🙂 Because he asked what “Born Agains” believe, I was able to share my
testimony and give him the Four Laws booklet to show how someone becomes “One.” He said his father is a Jew who believes in God, but as of six months ago, this young man (after trying to find out if his father was right) has decided there is no God. Pray for the seed that Michael has gotten tonight, that it will some day be harvested. Blessings, D
The first day that I shed tears.
