Israel Journey: Day Fifteen

 "At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 

As Jesus was coming up out of the water, He saw heaven being torn open 

and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.  And a voice came from heaven: 

"You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."

~Mark 1:9-11

Today I had the amazing privilege to baptize a friend in The Jordan River.  This was something Josh had been wanting to do for some time and it was such a powerful example to follow in the footsteps of Christ.

We drove from Tiberius, all the way to Haifa, where we found the place Josh's mom grew up.  I have to say that Haifa has the most confusing and complicated road system that I have ever driven.  We were lost for quite some time, but the views of the Mediterranean Sea from high above the cliffs proved worth the trip.
