The Eighth and Greatest Wonder of the Ancient World

Pastedgraphic

This map of the seven wonders of the ancient world should include and eighth, and greatest wonder, which was located just outside of Jerusalem for just one day around 30 A.D. Though its scope is incomprehensible,  seeking to gain greater understanding into its significance is at the heart of Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3: 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ." A love that was demonstrated for sinners like us upon the eighth and greatest wonder, the cross of Jesus.
