LESSONS FROM THE TOMB (1)

·         The stone was rolled away!

In Matt 28:1-3 there came the faithful (Mary Magdalene and the other) to render service to God via anointing the body of Jesus, but then something held them back- THE STONE! But as they looked up on that resurrection morning the stone was rolled away- Jesus was alive.
You see, the stone represents anything that causes us to draw back from service to God-guilt, sickness, poverty and any disability. The stone is already rolled-off our way in the light of the resurrected Christ. All you have to do is look up and see the finished work- He’s alive!

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus...
Rom 8:1

That’s not all- He also sat on it!
This indicates restfulness- permanence if you like. That stone was not just moved away it’s also not moving into our way so far as God is concerned. I don’t know about you- but I’m so glad that guilt can’t get in the way of my service to God.

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Jn 8:36
