Read David Jeremiah 23rd March 2024 Devotional, Saturday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Season of Hope: The Holy City
For the Lord has chosen Jerusalem; he has desired it for his home. “This is my resting place forever,” he said. “I will live here, for this is the home I desired.”
Psalm 132:13-14, NLT
Recommended Reading: Psalm 132:13-18
Located on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains, the city of Jerusalem is the location where Jesus Christ died on the Cross and was resurrected. Jerusalem is sacred and widely considered to be a holy city. The Temple Mount, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Western Wall, the Mount of Olives, and Mount Zion are all located there.
The Bible mentions Jerusalem more than eight hundred times—demonstrating God’s zeal for the city of David. The temple, where God dwelt, was built by Solomon in the city.
The city is also where Jesus preached, healed people, and was crucified for the sake of mankind. Joyfully, it is also where He “rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:4).
Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey that first Palm Sunday (Luke 19:28-40) marked the beginning of the week which led to His death on Good Friday and culminated in His resurrection on Easter Sunday. The prophecies were fulfilled! Jerusalem is not merely a symbol of Christianity but a promise of the presence of God: Through His victory over death, we have victory as well!
To open the Bible is to open a window toward Jerusalem, as Daniel did.
