You know the hymns by heart. You've sung them for years. But do you know the biblical events that inspired them?
You know the hymns by heart. You've sung them for years. Do you know that many of them are rooted in the land east of the Jordan River? "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." "There is a Balm in Gilead." "Joyful Away to Pisgah's Mountain." These are just a few of the time-honored hymns that were inspired by people, places, or events that happened in Jordan- the eastern part of the Holy Land. |
I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way – a voice of one calling in the desert, "Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him."
And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Mark 1:2-4
