<\/a>The Jordan River, like many of the sites I\u2019ve visited in the Holy Land and have yet to visit, is hard to connect with. \u00a0We don\u2019t know where exactly along the Jordan River Jesus was baptized and the churches and monuments rarely help me imagine and make a connection with \u201cthis<\/i>\u201d site being \u201cthe<\/i>\u201d site. I try though. \u00a0I long to make some connection\u2014to feel in my core what I think and know in my head. To feel the wonder and awe of being in the same place my Savior took part in this sacred cleansing ritual of baptism and the heaven\u2019s parted and God said, \u201cThis is my beloved with whom I am well pleased (Matthew 3:17).” For more from the Jordan River, see Katie’s blog<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
