Opinion: “What a gift from God to us to marvel at His beauty, painted in the sky, reflected on His Holy City,” writes Rev. Johnnie Moore.
Have you ever felt Jerusalem?
At this point, I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it. But every time, I also feel like it’s the first time.
If you’ve been here, you know exactly what I’m saying. Seeing Jerusalem bathed in the sun’s golden hue at sunset or at sunrise feels supernatural. It’s jarring. This feeling is itself a reason why countless millions believe so profoundly in God. It’s like this Holy City jumps off of earth into one’s heart. When it does, it demands something from you.
I sometimes think: What if one of the reasons God made the sun was just to illuminate Jerusalem? What a gift from God to us to marvel at His beauty, painted in the sky, reflected on His Holy City.
