The Sea of Galilee

“Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.” Luke 8:33

There are really countless scriptures that I could list referring to the Sea of Galilee. I chose the one above for sentimental value because there was probably about about 10 times when our tour guide, Avi, said something about the mountain where this verse may have taken place, and every time all of us in the bus were wondering where exactly he was talking about. The picture above is the only cliff that I saw that runs into the Sea of Galilee, and this view was directly across the water when he referred to this verse multiple times over the course of a few days.

The picture below was taken from my hotel room, overlooking the Sea of Galilee, which didn't seem like it could be real, and is hard to believe even now that I am back home.

This next picture was taken from a boat that we boarded and went out on the Sea of Galilee. I really like this picture because it shows the wake of the boat that I was on as we went out on the water. I suppose it is somewhat of an active picture in this sense because it reminds me of actually being there and being on a boat on the Sea of Galilee! We had a worship service while on this boat. This is probably stating the obvious, but it was really amazing to be able to worship while on the Sea of Galilee.
