World-wide FellowshipOur group of 24 who just returned from Israel had an extraordinary time. Wordssuch as “outstanding” and “perfect” were used frequently to describe our trip.
One reason for this was our competent guide, Hillel Kessler. Hillel was born in Ohio andwhen he was in his early 20s he traveled to Israel for a three-week trip. While there hemet his wife to be and has continued living his life in Jerusalem where they both serve astour guides. They have four sons all who have or are serving in the Israeli military.Through his eyes you could clearly see the stress that goes with living in Israel, but hedeals with the tension with great wisdom in which he understands Israel’s place in thatregion and even the viewpoints of opposing factions. He is a lover of peace.
While in Israel we visited all the holy sites: the Church of Annunciation inNazareth, the city of Cana where Jesus performed his first miracle, the Jordan River whereJohn baptized Jesus and where we reaffirmed our baptism. We went to the Mount ofBeatitudes and the village Capernaum where Jesus began his ministry. We rode a boatacross the Sea of Galilee where Jesus walked on the water and calmed the sea and we atePeter’s fish, a fresh water tilapia. We visited the ruins of ancient cities where archeologisthave done excavations so they could tell us how ancient people lived. We prayed at theWailing Wall and at the Pool of Bethsaida. We visited the place of Jesus’s birth and thesite where it is believed the angels appeared to the shepherds. We visited Jericho, theoldest city in the world, and stood on a mountain to view the wilderness in which it isbelieved Jesus was tempted. We visited the Mount of Olives and Garden of Gethsemane.We walked the Via Delorosa, the path where Jesus carried the cross, and concluded ourtime at Golgotha and the Garden Tomb where we celebrated Holy Communion.
In every place we read scripture, prayed and sang hymns. We could feel the spiritof Jesus in every spot and were moved to the depth of our being.
One thing that was evident was the universality of Christianity. All around us atevery place were Christians in small groups reading the Bible, praying, and singing hymnsin a variety of languages from around the world. Truly we are a world-wide fellowship ofdisciples of Jesus Christ. That was to me the best part.
If you get a chance to go don’t hesitate. Make it a priority. Most of us agreed wewish we had gone many years ago.
In Faith, Michael Guffee
