Today we visited the Taj Mahal, the world's number one "Wonders of the World". The building and surrounding gates take your breath away. The hand carved marble is elaborately decorated with stones and jewels. But apart from it's physical beauty, the whole purpose for this wonder is deeply sentimental. Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, had developed a love for his wife that was far beyond his love for any other person or thing in this world. When Mumtaz Mahal passed away after giving birth to their fourteenth child, Jahan made the development of the Taj Mahal his number one purpose. His wife was the most precious woman in the world, and he wanted to everyone to know it.
Shah Jahan's love for his wife is one of the most dramatic examples of Christ's love for us. I would hope that I can develop a full understanding of Christ's devotion to our hearts and pure beauty after experiencing the wonders of the Taj Mahal.
