Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”
So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
- Matthew 28: 1-10, NKJV
HE IS RISEN!
ReplyDeleteHe is Risen Indeed!
DeleteLong years ago it was explained to me that the angel threw the stone from the mouth of the sepulcher. Not to let Jesus out, but to let the witnesses in!
ReplyDeleteHe is risen! May His love shine abroad in our hearts until we are gathered to our eternal home. Happy Easter TB.
I have read the same STxAR. It is certainly not as if Jesus needed the stone moved.
DeleteHappy Easter!
May you all have a Blessed Easter! He is Risen!

Linda, we did. Remote church (being at The Ranch and all), followed by a nice visit with my parents, a visit with Uisdean Ruadh and his daughter, a nice visit with my Aunt and Uncle, and then just driving around some of the back parts of The Ranch.
DeleteGlad to hear you had a wonderful time, TB. :)
DeleteLinda, it has been many years since we have had the opportunity to spend Easter with my parents, even for a short time. It was a blessing.
DeleteMay the blessings and promise of Easter stay with you always.
