If there was only one place in Jerusalem I could visit, there is no question that I would choose the Garden Tomb. There is a spirit of peace and reverence. The empty tomb reminds us of the reality of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It might seem strange that the burial spot could bring such a spirit of joy to one's soul, but the Garden Tomb reminds us of the greatest event ever to happen.
We read in the 20th Chapter Luke verses 1 - 6
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen.
