On the final evening of their encampment on Retable Upland, Caspar gathered them for an important announcement.
Caspar: We are two day’s journey from Jerusalem, where we must undertake perhaps the most daunting task we have yet to face. We must… ask for directions.
Melchior: But Caspar, we haven’t brought any women with us. How will we manage that?
Caspar: We shall have to swallow our pride. The goal of our journey is more important than our pride.
The next day they crossed the river Jordan and entered Judea, finishing the day at Jericho, where they found lodging for the night. In following morning they took the road up to Jerusalem. As they neared the city they passed the Place of the Skull, also known as Golgotha. This was the place that the Roman occupiers used to execute criminals and political enemies. Little did the wise men know the importance of this place in God’s project of salvation. They entered the city and found a place to stay for the night.
