Escaped The Tomb
from Be Encouraged
“So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.” (John 20:8) This was the defining moment for the Apostle John. John chose to trust Jesus had risen from the dead. Another report says that Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave after the Sabbath. Right then, an earthquake occurred because an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. The guards saw this, shook for fear of the angel, and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; …He is not here, for He has risen. Come, see the place where He was lying.” Before the stone was moved, Jesus had escaped the tomb. I, like John, have looked for Your body. I can see those who trust You wearing it. We are your body.
