The Tomb

Matthew 27:58-60 Eric Brei, DCE In the ancient world, people used tombs to place the dead. They were a holding place for things that no longer had life. Thus Jesus was placed in a tomb. He was counted as a loss. Many believed He had no possibility of life again. Are there things in your life that you have placed in a tomb? Things you have counted as a loss or are dead to you? A relationship? A hope or dream that was squashed or squandered. Maybe it is just how you think about your own life? Some of us have set our lives on auto pilot just waiting for this all to end and be over. For some things in our lives, it is ok to count them as dead or lost. But for other things, even though they may be dead, God may have other plans. Plans that may involve rolling away the stone and seeing an empty tomb. So ask yourself today, what part of your life needs resurrecting? Are you willing to turn these things over to God so that He can bring it back to life in you?
