Jesus Walked These Steps

For a worship service this morning, we sat on the 200-foot wide flight of stairs that represented both original and restored steps from the Second Temple period (the time of Jesus).

Millions of sandals shuffled up these steps in antiquity, as Jewish pilgrims came from all Israel to worship the Lord for the annual feasts.

Three times a year worshippers would enter the Temple from these steps, after a customary cleansing in the nearby ritual baths, or mikvot. That means Jesus walked these steps.

These steps!

Now, so have we.
