The Jordan River

The Jordan River runs from the Hermon Mountain range in the north (The Rooftop of Israel) all the way south until it empties, as we spoke yesterday, into the Dead Sea.

The nation of Israel crossed the Jordan to get into the Promised Land. Jesus was baptized in it. It flows into the Sea of Galilee and picks up it flow again at the other side.

People come to it to be baptized just as Jesus was to this day.

Wow. I've been looking at your pictures and posts. Looks like we went on the same trip.
