Message of the Stone

As the women rushed to the Garden Tomb, a heavy question hung between them, "Who shall roll us away the stone?" The law had sealed the stone. The religious crowd had made sure no one could ever escape the wages of their sin. Still, they hoped to see Jesus. It would give them some melancholy assurance just to see HIs body once again.But as they approach, a light beyond the brightness of the noonday sun is shining atop the great stone. "He is not here." Their greatest fear seems to be a reality! Then the angel continues, "He is risen. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." Death had been destroyed. The Law had been fulfilled. Eternal life was open to all who would believe. He is risen indeed!
