Why is Jerusalem so important to Christians?
Jerusalem is of interest to many Christians because it is the place where some key events in Jesus' life occurred. The most important among these are the events leading up to and including the crucifixion such as the Betrayal at Gethsemane, the Pardoning of Barabbas, the Via Dolorosa, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. It is also a place that will have significance in the future as it a likely place for the Second Coming to begin. It has always been of significance to God and to the Jews and as such is important to Christians. As many people like to visit and see for themselves places where people important to them have lived, so is Jerusalem to Christians. It is interesting to see and learn about a city of which you read so much. It isn't the main event, though for Christians and there are no requirements to make a pilgrimage there.It is the place where Christianity began at Pentecost and it is at Antioch where the term 'Christian' was first applied.It is where Jesus was crucified.
