Onwards to the amazing feeding of the 5000 at the Sermon of the mount and the resurrection of Lazarus . We follow his footstep in Nazareth and visit the Sea of Galilee.
As he returned to Jerusalem for his last few days, we immerse ourselves in the places He visited and the experiences He had. We follow his most painful journey through Jerusalem. As we follow in His final footsteps as a Man, we will take time at the end for us all to reflect and contemplate, His sacrifice for us.
