Jerusalem. No other city on earth stirs the soul quite like it. It is more than a place of stone and history; it is a central character in God's great love story with humanity. It is the city God chose, the city where our salvation was won, and the city that points toward our eternal home. For believers, its name evokes a sense of belonging, of history, and of powerful hope.<\/p>\n
This journey is an exploration into the heart of why this one city, above all others, captures the very heart of God and holds such deep meaning for every Christian. Here, we will uncover the facts, walk through its sacred history, and embrace the spiritual truths that make Jerusalem a \"vision of peace\" for our souls. It is a story of divine choice, human failure, and God's unwavering, redemptive love that echoes from its ancient hills to the depths of our own hearts.<\/p>\n
The sheer frequency with which Jerusalem appears in the pages of Scripture is a powerful testament to its central role in God's plan. The name \"Jerusalem\" itself occurs approximately 806 times throughout the Bible, with 660 mentions in the Old Testament and 146 in the New Testament.\u00b9 While different biblical translations and counting methods may yield slightly varied totals, such as 767 times 3, the overwhelming consensus points to a city mentioned with remarkable consistency.<\/p>\n
This is not a trivial statistic. In literature, repetition signals importance. In the divine library of Scripture, this repetition is a literary echo of God's constant, unwavering focus on His redemptive plan for mankind. The Bible is the story of God's relationship with His people, and this number demonstrates that Jerusalem is the primary stage upon which that sacred drama unfolds. The volume of mentions is a measure of divine attention, revealing a city that is perpetually on the mind and in the heart of God.<\/p>\n
The count of 806 references, as major as it is, does not even tell the full story. The Bible uses a vast web of synonyms and poetic titles to refer to Jerusalem. Names like \"Zion,\" the \"City of David,\" and \"the holy city\" are woven throughout the text, each revealing a different facet of God's relationship with His chosen city.\u2074 When these additional references are included, the number of verses pointing to Jerusalem climbs to nearly 1,000.\u2076<\/p>\n
The variance in counts found across different studies is not a sign of contradiction but a reflection of this deep and varied biblical vocabulary. God does not just name Jerusalem; He describes it with the loving and layered language one would use for a beloved. This thematic density proves that Jerusalem is not a mere backdrop for the biblical narrative; it is a central subject of God's divine revelation, a place so integral to His purposes that it required a multitude of names to capture its full significance.<\/p>\n
The richness of Jerusalem's identity in Scripture is beautifully captured in a Jewish tradition which holds that the city has 70 different names.\u2077 In the Bible, the number 70 often symbolizes completeness and divine order. This tradition suggests that the full identity of Jerusalem is so powerful that it requires a \"complete\" set of names to even begin to describe it. Each name is like a different brushstroke in a divine portrait, revealing another aspect of God's character and His promises to His people. Exploring these names is not just a historical exercise; it is a journey into the heart of God.<\/p>\n
While a full list of 70 names is extensive, examining some of the most major ones in Scripture offers a powerful glimpse into the city's divine purpose. These names are not random labels; they are declarations of God's intent and His relationship with the city.<\/p>\n
The story of Jerusalem's names shows a beautiful progression. It begins as Jebus<\/strong>, a Canaanite fortress name that means \"trodden down,\" reflecting its humble, earthly origins before God's intervention.\u2078 It is then elevated by King David to become the<\/p>\n Ciudad de David<\/strong>, a name of intimate relationship and covenant, tying the city forever to God's chosen kingly line.\u2075<\/p>\n Incluso antes de David, su identidad espiritual se estaba estableciendo. Era conocida como Salem<\/strong>, the city of Melchizedek, the mysterious \"king of peace\" to whom Abraham tithed.\u2074 The name Salem itself means \"peace,\" foreshadowing the city's ultimate destiny and its connection to the Messiah, the true Prince of Peace.<\/p>\n Los profetas a\u00f1adieron capas de significado con nombres po\u00e9ticos y poderosos. Isa\u00edas la llama Ariel<\/strong>, the \"Lion of God,\" a name signifying God's fierce strength and protective power over His city.\u00b9\u2070 It is also called<\/p>\n The Holy City<\/strong> (Ir Ha-Kodesh<\/em>), una declaraci\u00f3n directa de su prop\u00f3sito sagrado, un lugar apartado por Dios para Su propia gloria.\u2079 Quiz\u00e1s con mayor ternura, Isa\u00edas le da los nombres<\/p>\n Hephzibah<\/strong> (\"My Delight is in Her\") and Beulah<\/strong> (\"Married\"), revealing God's passionate, spousal love for His people, whom the city represents.\u2079<\/p>\n Each name opens a window into God's heart, showing a love that is at once protective, intimate, covenantal, and eternal.<\/p>\n Mucho antes de que Jerusal\u00e9n fuera una capital pol\u00edtica, era un hito espiritual. Su importancia no tiene sus ra\u00edces en decretos reales, sino en actos fundamentales de fe que tuvieron lugar en sus colinas. La Biblia identifica la regi\u00f3n como Moriah<\/strong>, el mismo lugar donde Abraham demostr\u00f3 su fe suprema, dispuesto a sacrificar a su amado hijo Isaac.\u00b9\u2074 En esa monta\u00f1a, Dios provey\u00f3 un sustituto y se revel\u00f3 a S\u00ed mismo como<\/p>\n Jehovah-Jireh<\/em>, \"The Lord Will Provide.\" This act consecrated the ground as a place of supreme faith and divine provision.\u2079 Generations earlier, in the same vicinity, Abraham encountered Melchizedek, the king of<\/p>\n Salem<\/strong> and \"priest of God Most High\".\u2076 By tithing to him, Abraham acknowledged this place as a center of true worship, even before the nation of Israel existed.\u00b9\u00b3<\/p>\n For centuries, the city remained under the control of the Jebusites.\u00b9\u2075 But around 1000 BC, God's plan for Jerusalem took a monumental step forward. King David, leading the armies of Israel, captured the city and established it as his capital.\u2075 This was a brilliant strategic move, but it was far more than that. By bringing the Ark of the Covenant there, David made Jerusalem the unified political and spiritual heart of the nation. It became the \"City of David,\" the focal point of God's covenant with his chosen king.\u00b9\u2075<\/p>\n David's son, Solomon, fulfilled his father's dream by building a magnificent Temple on that same holy ground\u2014Mount Moriah.\u00b9\u2074 This act physically centralized the worship of Israel and created a specific, earthly address for the presence of God. It was no longer just a place of historical memory; it was the place God Himself declared He had \"chosen\" as His \"dwelling place\" on earth, His \"resting place forever\".\u2076<\/p>\n The history of Jerusalem in the Old Testament is also a story of heartbreaking failure and astonishing grace. The prophets warned that because of the nation's persistent idolatry and injustice, God's judgment would fall. Jeremiah prophesied that God would make Jerusalem \"a heap of ruins\".\u00b9\u2076 This tragic prophecy was fulfilled in 586 BC when the armies of Babylon destroyed the city and Solomon's glorious Temple, carrying the people into exile.\u00b9\u2077<\/p>\n Yet, even in judgment, God's faithfulness endured. The same prophets who foretold destruction also promised a miraculous restoration. Jeremiah declared that after 70 years, God would \"fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place\".\u00b9\u2076 True to His word, in 538 BC, the Persian King Cyrus issued a decree allowing the Jewish exiles to return.\u00b9\u2078 A faithful remnant journeyed home and, against all odds, rebuilt the Second Temple, a powerful testament to God's unbreakable covenant and His sovereign power to bring life from ruins.\u00b9\u2076<\/p>\n This dramatic history of Jerusalem\u2014its divine choosing, its glory under a righteous king, its fall into sin, its destruction as a consequence, and its miraculous restoration by grace\u2014serves as a powerful picture of the believer's own journey with God. Our hearts, once a fortress of another king, are conquered by the love of King Jesus. He establishes His presence within us, making us a temple of His Holy Spirit. Yet we fall, we wander, and we face the painful consequences of our sin. But the story does not end there. Through the boundless grace of the cross, God does not abandon us. He restores our broken walls, rebuilds our lives for His glory, and promises a faithfulness that will never let us go. The story of Old Testament Jerusalem is our story, written on a grand scale.<\/p>\n Although the Old Testament establishes Jerusalem's importance, the New Testament elevates it to the very heart of the Gospel. The city is the sacred stage for the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. His connection to Jerusalem was lifelong, beginning with His presentation at the Temple as an infant, an act of obedience by his parents under the Law.\u00b9\u2074 He returned for festivals, and as an adult, He taught in the Temple courts, cleansing them of corruption and declaring them a \"house of prayer\".\u00b9\u2074 Jerusalem was also the city that broke His heart, as He wept over its unbelief and prophesied its coming judgment.\u00b2\u2070 Every step Jesus took in Jerusalem was a step toward the cross, a fulfillment of His divine mission. His final journey to the city was not an accident but a deliberate act of a King coming to His capital to accomplish the salvation of the world.\u00b2\u00b9<\/p>\n La Semana de la Pasi\u00f3n, el per\u00edodo m\u00e1s sagrado de la fe cristiana, se desarrolla completamente dentro de Jerusal\u00e9n y sus alrededores inmediatos. Los Evangelios proporcionan un relato detallado, casi hora por hora, de estos \u00faltimos y trascendentales d\u00edas. Aunque los cuatro Evangelios a veces organizan los eventos de manera diferente para enfatizar puntos teol\u00f3gicos \u00fanicos \u2014como el momento preciso de la unci\u00f3n en Betania\u00b2\u00b2\u2014, presentan un testimonio unificado y poderoso del viaje de nuestro Salvador hacia la cruz. Esta progresi\u00f3n d\u00eda a d\u00eda nos permite caminar con Jes\u00fas, sentir la tensi\u00f3n creciente y maravillarnos ante Su amor lleno de prop\u00f3sito.<\/p>\n The title \"Holy City,\" used in both the Old and New Testaments, is not merely a poetic flourish; it is a theological declaration about Jerusalem's unique status in God's eyes. Its holiness is not based on its geography or its people, but on the actions of God Himself in relation to it.<\/p>\n Jerusalem is holy because God chose it. Holiness in the Bible means to be \"set apart\" for a sacred purpose. Out of all the cities on earth, God sovereignly selected Jerusalem to be the place where He would put His Name and establish His dwelling.\u00b2\u2075 The psalmist declares, \"For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place\".\u2076 This divine election is the primary source of the city's sanctity. Just as God chose Abraham from all people and Israel from all nations, He chose Jerusalem from all cities. Its holiness is a direct result of His sovereign grace and divine favor.<\/p>\n Jerusalem was holy because it was the unique location of God's manifest presence on earth. With the construction of the Temple, the city became the home of the Ark of the Covenant and the place where the Shekinah<\/em> gloria de Dios habitaba en el Lugar Sant\u00edsimo.\u00b2\u2076 Esto hizo de Jerusal\u00e9n el punto de encuentro sagrado entre el cielo y la tierra. La tradici\u00f3n jud\u00eda la consideraba el<\/p>\n umbilicus mundi<\/em>, the navel of the world, from which God's presence radiated outwards.\u00b9\u00b3 To be in Jerusalem was to be near to God in a way that was possible nowhere else on the planet. This tangible sense of God's presence consecrated the very ground of the city.<\/p>\n For Christians, Jerusalem's holiness is sealed and magnified for all eternity because it is the place where God Himself, in the person of Jesus Christ, accomplished our salvation.\u00b9\u2079 It is the city that witnessed His atoning death, His burial, and His glorious resurrection. The ground of Golgotha, the tomb in the garden, and the Mount of Olives from which He ascended are forever sanctified by these redemptive events.\u00b9\u2074 If the presence of God in the Temple made the city holy, how much more holy is it having been consecrated by the precious blood of the Lamb of God, shed for the forgiveness of sins?<\/p>\n This biblical understanding of Jerusalem's holiness reveals a powerful truth about the nature of holiness itself: it is fundamentally relational. The city is holy because of its relationship with God\u2014He chose it, He dwelt in it, and He redeemed the world in it. This serves as a beautiful model for our own lives. We are not made holy by our own merits, our location, or our actions. We are made holy because of our relationship with God through Christ. We are holy because God has elegido<\/em> en \u00c9l antes de la fundaci\u00f3n del mundo (Efesios 1:4), porque \u00c9l dwells<\/em> en nosotros por Su Esp\u00edritu Santo (1 Corintios 6:19), y porque \u00c9l nos ha consagr\u00f3<\/em> por la sangre de Jes\u00fas (Hebreos 10:10). Al comprender por qu\u00e9 Jerusal\u00e9n es santa, llegamos a comprender la fuente misma de nuestra propia identidad como el pueblo santo de Dios.<\/p>\n Los profetas del Antiguo Testamento, inspirados por el Esp\u00edritu Santo, miraron m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de su propio tiempo para ver el futuro que Dios hab\u00eda ordenado para Jerusal\u00e9n. Sus profec\u00edas pintan un cuadro dram\u00e1tico de juicio, restauraci\u00f3n y gloria final que contin\u00faa desarroll\u00e1ndose incluso hoy.<\/p>\n The prophets spoke with unflinching honesty about Jerusalem's future. Because of the people's sin, they warned that the city would face devastating judgment and destruction. Micah declared that \"Zion shall be plowed as a field; Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins\".\u00b9\u2076 This came to pass with the Babylonian conquest. Yet, in the same breath, the prophets spoke of a glorious restoration. They promised that God would not abandon His city forever. He would gather His people from exile and bring them back to rebuild its walls and restore its fortunes, a powerful sign of His covenant faithfulness.\u00b9\u2076<\/p>\n The prophet Zechariah delivered a stunningly relevant prophecy for our own times. He foretold that in the last days, Jerusalem would become a focal point of intense international conflict. God declares, \"I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about\u2026 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the nations of the earth be gathered together against it\" (Zechariah 12:2-3, KJV).\u2076 This prophecy describes a world fixated on this one city, with nations staggering and injuring themselves over its fate. For any student of modern geopolitics, these ancient words resonate with uncanny accuracy, providing a biblical lens through which to view current events.\u00b3\u2070<\/p>\n The ultimate prophetic destiny of Jerusalem is one of unparalleled glory. The prophets Isaiah and Micah both saw a future day when \"the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains\".\u00b3\u00b9 In this coming kingdom age, Jerusalem will be the spiritual capital of the world. All nations will stream to it, saying, \"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD\u2026 That he may teach us his ways\".\u00b3\u00b3 From Jerusalem, the word of the Lord will go forth, ushering in an era of global peace and justice under the reign of the Messiah.\u00b3\u2074 The Bible teaches that when Jesus returns, His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, just east of the city.\u2075 He will enter Jerusalem not as the suffering servant, but as the reigning King of Kings, and He will establish His throne there, ruling the nations in righteousness.<\/p>\n This clear pattern of prophecy and fulfillment gives believers a firm foundation for their faith. The prophecies of Jerusalem's destruction and restoration have already come to pass with historical precision. The prophecy of it becoming a \"heavy stone\" for the nations appears to be unfolding before our eyes. This track record of divine accuracy gives us powerful confidence that the remaining prophecies\u2014those concerning Christ's return and the establishment of His glorious kingdom centered in Jerusalem\u2014will also be fulfilled in God's perfect time. Jerusalem's prophetic history is God's resume, written across the centuries, proving His sovereignty over history and giving us a sure and certain hope for the future.<\/p>\n The final chapters of the Bible pull back the curtain on eternity, offering a breathtaking vision of our ultimate home: the New Jerusalem. The apostle John sees this \"Holy City\u2026 Coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband\".\u00b3\u2075 This is not a rebuilt earthly city but a divine creation, the culmination of all God's promises.<\/p>\n La descripci\u00f3n de la ciudad pretende transmitir una belleza y perfecci\u00f3n m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la comprensi\u00f3n humana. Es un cubo masivo, de unos 2,250 kil\u00f3metros en cada direcci\u00f3n, una forma que hace eco del cubo perfecto del Lugar Sant\u00edsimo en el Templo.\u00b3\u2077 Sus muros est\u00e1n hechos de jaspe, sus doce puertas est\u00e1n talladas cada una de una sola perla gigante, y sus doce cimientos est\u00e1n adornados con todo tipo de piedras preciosas.\u00b3\u2075 La calle misma de la ciudad es de oro puro, transparente como el cristal.\u00b3\u2079 Es una ciudad radiante con la gloria sin filtros de Dios.<\/p>\n As glorious as the city's appearance is, its true beauty lies in what is absent. John hears a voice from the throne declare that God \"will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain, because all the old ways are gone\".\u00b3\u2075 The curse of sin that has plagued creation will be no more.<\/p>\n In this city, there is no need for a sun or moon, \"for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light\".\u00b3\u2079 The constant, life-giving presence of God will be its eternal day. Most significantly, John observes, \"I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple\".\u00b3\u2079 The need for a special building, a sacred place to meet with God, will be gone forever. In the New Jerusalem, the redeemed will live in perfect, unmediated, face-to-face fellowship with their Creator and Savior for all eternity.<\/p>\n A deeper reading of John's vision reveals a truth that is both stunning and deeply personal: the New Jerusalem is not merely a place, but a people. When the angel tells John he will show him \"the bride, the wife of the Lamb,\" he is immediately shown the Holy City.\u00b3\u2078 The city<\/p>\n es<\/em> la novia. El pueblo redimido de Dios, en su estado glorificado y perfeccionado, son<\/em> la Nueva Jerusal\u00e9n.<\/p>\n This reframes the entire vision. The architectural details become beautiful metaphors for the Church triumphant. The twelve foundations bearing the names of the apostles signify that the Church is built on their testimony to Christ.\u2074\u00b9 The twelve gates bearing the names of the tribes of Israel signify the unity of all God's people, from both the Old and New Covenants.\u2074\u00b2 The city's shape as a perfect cube, like the Holy of Holies, signifies that the people of God have themselves become the dwelling place of God's glory.\u2074\u00b3 We do not simply<\/p>\n live in<\/em> la Nueva Jerusal\u00e9n; en Cristo, nosotros son<\/em> la Nueva Jerusal\u00e9n. Nuestra esperanza eterna no es solo ir a un lugar hermoso, sino ser parte de la hermosa y perfeccionada comunidad que vive en uni\u00f3n impecable con Dios y entre s\u00ed para siempre.<\/p>\n The Catholic Church's position on Jerusalem is layered, encompassing deep theological reverence for its role in salvation history as well as pastoral concern for its modern-day reality. It is helpful to understand these two distinct but related layers: the doctrinal and the diplomatic.<\/p>\n Theologically, the Church's stance is rooted firmly in the Bible. The El Catecismo de la Iglesia Cat\u00f3lica<\/em> emphasizes the pivotal role Jerusalem played in the life of Christ. It specifically highlights Jesus's messianic entry into the city, an event that \"manifests the coming of the kingdom\".\u00b2\u00b9 This entry, celebrated on Palm Sunday, is seen as the solemn opening to Holy Week, during which the Messiah accomplishes His work of salvation through the Passover of His Death and Resurrection in Jerusalem.\u00b2\u00b9 The earthly Jerusalem is therefore venerated as the sacred stage where the central events of our redemption took place.<\/p>\n Diplomatically, the Holy See (the Vatican's governing body) applies these theological values to the complex political situation of the modern city. For over a century, popes have consistently expressed a powerful love for Jerusalem and a desire to see it live up to its name as a \"city of peace\".\u2074\u2074 Pope John Paul II described it as a \"symbol of coming together, of union, and of universal peace,\" while Pope Francis has prayed that \"wisdom and prudence prevail, to avoid adding new elements of tension\" to the region.\u2074\u2074<\/p>\n This pastoral concern has historically translated into a call for a \"special statute, internationally guaranteed\" for Jerusalem.\u2074\u2074 This position does not seek to take a political side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but rather to safeguard the city's unique religious and universal character. The goal of such a statute would be to ensure freedom of religion, protect the holy sites of Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and guarantee access for pilgrims from around the world, preserving the city as a spiritual treasure for all humanity rather than the exclusive possession of one group.\u2074\u2074 This diplomatic stance is a prudential application of the Church's core theological belief that Jerusalem has a sacred vocation to be a place of encounter with God and a beacon of peace for the world.<\/p>\n The command in Psalm 122:6\u2014\"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they be secure who love you!\"\u2014is a timeless call for believers. But what does it mean to pray for the city's peace in our modern world? It is a prayer that goes far deeper than politics, touching on the spiritual, prophetic, and personal dimensions of the city's well-being.<\/p>\n Orar por la paz de Jerusal\u00e9n es orar por su verdadero shalom<\/em>\u2014a Hebrew word that means far more than the absence of conflict. It means wholeness, completeness, security, and salvation. A full, biblical prayer for Jerusalem's peace includes several key aspects:<\/p>\n Jerusal\u00e9n es mucho m\u00e1s que una ciudad de titulares e historia. Es una ciudad del coraz\u00f3n, un hilo de oro tejido por Dios a trav\u00e9s de toda la historia de las Escrituras. Su historia se extiende desde la fe de Abraham en una solitaria cima de monta\u00f1a hasta la gloria indescriptible de la Nueva Jerusal\u00e9n descendiendo del cielo.<\/p>\n The narrative of this one city is, in so many ways, the narrative of our own faith. It is a story of being chosen by God when we were unremarkable. It is a story of being made holy by His presence. It is a story that acknowledges our fall into sin and the painful consequences that follow. But above all, it is a story of God's stunning, relentless grace\u2014a grace that pursues us, restores our broken walls, and promises an ultimate, glorious restoration beyond our wildest dreams.<\/p>\n As we look to the earthly Jerusalem, we are reminded of God's faithfulness throughout history, and we obey His command to pray for its peace. And as we look toward the New Jerusalem, we find our ultimate hope and our true identity. We are citizens of a heavenly city, the beloved bride of Christ, the very dwelling place of God. We belong to the city whose architect and builder is God, and we await the day when we will see Him face to face in that place of perfect and eternal peace.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Descubre hechos y estad\u00edsticas clave sobre Jerusal\u00e9n en la Biblia, explorando su significado e impacto en la historia y la

He passionately desires for His Father's house\u2014and our hearts\u2014to be a place of pure and open communion with God.23\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n \n Tuesday<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n \n Un d\u00eda de ense\u00f1anza y controversia en el Templo. Jes\u00fas ense\u00f1a en par\u00e1bolas, responde a los desaf\u00edos de los l\u00edderes religiosos y da el Discurso del Monte de los Olivos, profetizando sobre el fin de los tiempos.\n <\/td>\n \n Mateo 21:23\u201324:51; Marcos 11:27\u201313:37; Lucas 20:1\u201321:36\n <\/td>\n \n Enfrentado a la oposici\u00f3n, Jes\u00fas ense\u00f1a con autoridad divina. \u00c9l nos llama a estar atentos y listos para Su regreso, viviendo vidas de fe y no de miedo.\u00b2\u2074\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n \n Wednesday<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n \n Los Evangelios guardan silencio sobre este d\u00eda, pero la tradici\u00f3n lo considera un d\u00eda de descanso. Es probable que fuera cuando Judas finaliz\u00f3 su plan de traicionar a Jes\u00fas con los principales sacerdotes.\n <\/td>\n \n Mateo 26:14\u201316; Marcos 14:10\u201311\n <\/td>\n \n En la calma antes de la tormenta, el mayor acto de amor y el acto m\u00e1s oscuro de traici\u00f3n se ponen en marcha. Es un recordatorio de que nuestras decisiones, tomadas en secreto, tienen consecuencias eternas.\u00b2\u2074\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n \n Jueves Santo<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n \n The Last Supper, where Jesus institutes the Lord's Supper; He washes the disciples' feet; He gives His farewell discourse; He prays in agony in the Garden of Gethsemane; He is betrayed and arrested.\n <\/td>\n \n Mateo 26:17\u201356; Marcos 14:12\u201352; Lucas 22:7\u201353; Juan 13\u201318\n <\/td>\n \n On this night of ultimate love and sorrow, Jesus gives us the sacraments of His body and blood and the example of a servant's heart. His prayer in Gethsemane shows us the path of submitting our will to the Father's.23\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n \n Viernes Santo<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n \n Jes\u00fas es juzgado ante el Sanedr\u00edn, Poncio Pilato y Herodes; \u00c9l es azotado, burlado y crucificado en el G\u00f3lgota; \u00c9l es sepultado en una tumba cercana.\n <\/td>\n \n Mateo 27; Marcos 15; Lucas 23; Juan 18\u201319\n <\/td>\n \n At the cross, the full weight of our sin was placed on the perfect Lamb of God. In His final breaths, He declares, \"It is finished.\" Our salvation was bought and paid for in Jerusalem on this day.23\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n \n Saturday<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n \n Jesus's body lies in the tomb while the disciples hide in fear and sorrow. The city observes the Sabbath.\n <\/td>\n \n Mateo 27:62\u201366\n <\/td>\n \n Este es el d\u00eda de silencio, la pausa entre la cruz y la tumba vac\u00eda. Es un recordatorio de que incluso cuando Dios parece silencioso, \u00c9l sigue trabajando, prepar\u00e1ndose para la mayor victoria de la historia.\u00b2\u00b3\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n \n Domingo de Resurrecci\u00f3n<\/strong>\n <\/td>\n \n La tumba es encontrada vac\u00eda; Jes\u00fas se aparece a Mar\u00eda Magdalena, a las otras mujeres, a Pedro y a los disc\u00edpulos. \u00c9l ha vencido a la muerte.\n <\/td>\n \n Mateo 28; Marcos 16; Lucas 24; Juan 20\n <\/td>\n \n In a garden just outside Jerusalem's walls, hope was reborn for all humanity. The resurrection is the non-negotiable center of our faith, proving that Jesus is who He said He is and that His victory over sin and death is complete.23\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 se llama a Jerusal\u00e9n la \"Ciudad Santa\"?<\/h2>\n
