Mount of the Beatitudes


23 March 2006
This is definitely the coolest non-ruin site we’ve seen yet. I read Matthew 5 while looking out at the hill on which Jesus likely delivered the Sermon on the Mount. The hill is sort of scooped out and forms a natural amphitheater-type effect, so Jesus’ voice would have carried very nicely. It was amazing to think that He delivered such a powerful and world-changing message at that spot. As I read about the kind of people who enter the kingdom, it made me want to be that kind of person even more. It was very inspiring.
