Let’s get Personal …

Activity: Remember, in the 10 through 12 century, common people did not possess a copy of God’s
th
th
Word. What they believed about Christianity was what they were taught by the priests and bishops.
Church services were held in Latin and few could even understand what was going on. Ignorance was
the rule of the day. That’s why historians call it the “Dark Ages.” It is not without understanding we can
see how thousands would be willing to travel from Europe to Jerusalem if the promise of Heaven was
the reward for their sacrifice. They did not hear or understand the Gospel. They were lost, blind people
leading the lost, blind people to their deaths.
