The Jordan River, like many of the sites I’ve visited in the Holy Land and have yet to visit, is hard to connect with.  We don’t know where exactly along the Jordan River Jesus was baptized and the churches and monuments rarely help me imagine and make a connection with “this” site being “the” site. I try though.  I long to make some connection—to 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’s parted and God said, “This is my beloved with whom I am well pleased (Matthew 3:17).” For more from the Jordan River, see Katie’s blog.
