Beatitudes, that is. These pictures are from our trip to Israel March 17-27, 2006. The Church of the Beatitudes sits on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. In the 14th Century, Muslims destroyed a church on this site wanting to obliterate anything Jewish, Christian, or non-Muslim.
In bribery to Muslims, Mussolini of all people bought back the land in 1938 and Barluzzi designed the church octagonally and marked with a cross the spot where the Sermon on the Mount was delivered. The full text may be found in Matt 5:5.
Two fish symbolize the love Jesus spoke of--love your God and love your neighbor. It's all that simple and all that difficult.
How does God use all kinds of people for His purpose? Well, Mr. Mussolini
is a prime example.
