For entertainment today, we explored the highest place in San Antonio, 2nd highest in the United States, measuring in at 622 feet, the TOWER OF THE AMERICAS!!!!!
We went up via the glass windowed elevator to the observation deck. Taking many pictures of the surrounding area, including the Alamodome and Emilie Morgan Hotel.
We then went the the 4D movie "Skies over Texas" at the tower. We waited for a short time, but the movie was very enjoyable.
The intense night previous led directly into tonight's message. Jesus is the incarnation Love that we need; not the distractions and things we put before God. Jesus was given to us in love from God.
The night was set up in a quick review of Jesus's life. He was Love Born in a manger in Bethlehem. Jesus became the Love Sent to us through the miracles and forgiveness of sins. Jesus was the forgiveness for all sins of all time passed and to come by Love Died. Then, three days after Love Died, Love Lives by rising from the grave, defeating death and Satan and then rising back up to heaven to be with God the Father.
Rev. Dan Weber kept coming back to 1 John 4:9 "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him." Partly because that was the main verse for this week, but also because it is the best example of God's love.
Towards the end of the Mass Event, Rev Dan was talking about Jon 20:23a "If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins are forgiven." Rev Dan then had us turn to each of the people around us, use their names, and say "Your sins are forgiven." This simple action was a major moment for all of us. The physical action made the moment even more powerful.
Night,
Hat Man
