Bible Lesson: Bible Mountain-Mount Calvary: Salvation.

Text:
Luke 23:33 KJV
And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

Mark 15:22 KJV
And they bring Him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

John 19:17 KJV
And He bearing His cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:


Christ's crucifixion was outside the city wall, near a garden:
Hebrews 13:12 KJV
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

John 19:41 KJV
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, wherein was never man yet laid.

Outside the city wall, and near a garden, describes one location outside of the Damascus Gate. Here a hill, north of Jerusalem, has the resemblance of a human skull. Two caverns for the eyes, while a jutting rock forms a nose, and a slit the mouth, and a ledge forms a chin. Seven hundred feet away is General Charles G. Gordon's garden tomb.

As sacred as this site is, never are we told to worship it, there is only one to be worshiped, and that is God.

Many Good Friday, and Easter services have been held there, D.L. Moody and Talmage preached messages there.

Calvary, speaks of God's great love for us:
John 3:16-18 KJV
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
