Wow less than 10 days in and we're already on part 2 -- its going to be one of those years.... Sure seems like it. Hang on, folks! Geri, I could not reply in the other thread in regards to what my profile picture means. It means Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega. Inside the Tomb: When the Tomb was first discovered 2 crosses were found painted in red on the East Wall, with Greek letters that speak of the Lord Jesus Christ being the Alpha and Omega. One of them was in the centre (above position 6 in the plan opposite), and the other over the main (finished) loculus (above position 8). Exposure to air and light caused these to fade away, but copies were made, one of which is seen below). These are Byzantine crosses. By this time the cross had come into common use as a Christian symbol. Early records state 2 similar painted crosses were found on the rock-face outside on the left-hand side of the entrance. But these were not copied, and through exposure to air and light soon faded away. BTW, the garden tomb area is very peaceful. It is run by British missionaries and they shared the gospel with us. Very cool. Thanks for sharing. :yes: Wow, those British missionaries have the best location set-up for their ministry … as they are reaching others while visiting the empty tomb site! Yes, they have a wonderful location. A beautiful garden and IMHO, a much more likely place for Jesus' tomb than the circus that is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Lots of visitors who may in fact be CINOS (Christians in name only.) that will get to hear the gospel. Those that are born again should delight in hearing the gospel, too. While on tour did they say where councillor of the sanhedrin Joseph of Arimathea is buried since he allowed Jesus to be temporarily buried in his own tomb? That I can't recall, sorry. ok, now that it took me like 25 tries to put in a photo, happy sunday i can hardly wait for heavenly places and a new body LOVE your photo, Regina! Woohoo 2022 is becoming thee year of posting current avatars! :whistle: 25 tries? :mdrmdr: You beat me :dieu: I was embarrass after 14 tries :wacko:
Jesus is the Alpha and Omega and my All in all. My identity is in Him as without Him, I am nothing. Hence why I chose the profile picture. :heart:
