On our way to Jericho, We stopped on the road to Jericho, which is where the
Parable of the Good Samaritan. The road to Jericho is a this road in the desert
that is full of curves and turns, there are also a lot of caves and niches. So
it is easy to imagine that this is a place that a lot of people could be robbed
and left for dead.
Then
another interesting thing that we learned was that Jericho is the lowest and
oldest city on Earth, so on the road to Jericho you go from high of Jerusalem
then to the lowest which is Jericho.

| Me in the Middle of Jerusalem and Jericho The Mount of Temptation is also on the road to Jericho. So when Christ was fasting for 40 days and 40 nights, He was at a low point but he was also in the lowest part of the land. I found this very interesting. Another random fact or thing that I noticed is when Christ is being tempted to change the stones into bread. The bread that they had at that time was like Pita bread (when I was a child I always imagined that Satan wanted a loaf of bread) but a lot of the stones in this area look like a pita bread, they are shaped like bread and I can imagine Satan telling Christ look at those stones they even look like bread it would be so easy for you to change those stones into bread. |
