The Garden Tomb a Joy to Behold
“The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before. And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.” - (NLT)
Nearly a quarter of a million visitors make it to the Garden Tomb every year. Many believe this sacred spot in the heart of Jerusalem to be the site of Jesus’s burial and resurrection.
The Garden Tomb is located in a two-acre garden oasis in the heart of the buzzing city of Jerusalem. The Garden Tomb offers itself as a place for worship with abandon and a site to connect deeply with our God. This site offers a great break from the hustle and bustle of city life and provides great opportunity to slow down and reflect.
“He isn't here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee” - (NLT)
It’s difficult to come to the Garden Tomb to simply visit the site of Jesus’s burial and resurrection. Tourists come from to celebrate Jesus: to celebrate who he was, how he lived and how he loved others.
Out of all the places to visit in Israel, The Garden Tomb in Jerusalem has to be top of the list, but not for its beautiful surroundings. In addition to celebrating, people journey from all over the world to feel the amazing power and presence of God, which cannot be described. They come to celebrate Jesus; the greatest, most selfless act of love this world has ever seen. You must come experience it for yourself.
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” - (NLT)
