Not far from the city...
Illustration
Not far from the city walls of Jerusalem is an old Crusader fortress. In the middle of this fortress is a tiny stone tower. In the middle of the tower's one small room is a rock. And in the middle of this rock is the traditional footprint of Jesus, left in the rock at the time of Jesus' ascension.
From Jerusalem, from the time of Jesus' ascension, the disciples' footprints were left throughout the ancient world and have now disappeared. But the message Jesus gave the disciples to bear has not disappeared from the earth.
