On the Sea of Galilee

This is a panoramic shot taken of Migdal from the Sea of Galilee (look for the green trees along the coast). We were traveling on what's known as "The Jesus Boat" which is replica of a fishing boat from the time of Christ. Migdal is named after the old city of Migdala Nunia, which was the home town of Mary of Magdala (Magdalene - Luke 8:2). In those days, you would refer to someone by their first name and the village they originated from. Which is why in Jesus' day He was known as Jesus of Nazereth.
The cliff you see in the picture is a very pronounced landmark. Jesus and His disciples would have seen this on a regular basis while doing ministry in this part of Galilee. The boat in the picture is another "Jesus boat" - there are a total of 5.



This is another shot taken from the Jesus boat on the Sea of Galilee. In addition to being a great sight seeing tour, it was a very meaningful time of worship for me. The captain of the boat played some great worship music we enjoyed singing along to many of the songs. What a humbling time - I can't believe I'm here!
