It was not only Arthur Blessitt who walked to deliver God's message of love to the world. The original walkers for God were Jesus and His mother, Mary.
Mary walked a total of 12,187 miles:
- 4,080 Nazareth to Jerusalem and return. (Age 3 till 20)
- 390 While with Child.
- 25 From Bethlehem to Jerusalem twice.
- 350 Bethlehem to Egypt.
- 400 Egypt to Nazareth.
- 6,000 From Jesus age 5 till 30.
- 912 During the public ministry of Jesus.
Jesus walked a total of 21,525 miles:
- 400 miles: Jesus walked from Egypt to Nazareth.
- 18,000 miles: Jesus walked from Nazareth to Jerusalem And return by age 30.
- 3,125 miles: Jesus walked during His 3-year public Ministry.
Jesus and Mary walked because God spoke to them and gave them a mission. Their journey was the original walk of faith. Jesus bore the cross where he was later crucified as the ultimate gift of love from our Heavenly Father. Wow!
It is not how far they walked that is important, it is the message they shared with the world. God loves you and He gave His only Begotten Son so that you may have a place with Him in heaven.
This is the same message Arthur Blessitt shared on his cross walk almost 2000 years later - this modern day journey will be available on DVD starting November 10, 2009. For more information go to The Cross website.
