Luke 24:2...."And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher.”
The things considered by men as objects of restraint are seen in heaven as objectives only to be achieved by the supernatural.
The stone was huge and it was sealed and secured by the Roman guard. Notice particularly that the stone had no hinges indicating that it was only temporary, never to be closed again once it had been removed. Henceforth, death’s prison house is without a door leaving it an open cavern. The saints shall pass through it but they shall not be shut in. There is nothing to prevent them from coming forth in due time. The first words uttered by our Lord when he came forth from the tomb were “All Hale, be not afraid.” Meaning, there is nothing to fear from the grave, I've been there and I’m back and I’m alright! O grave where is thy victory, O death where is thy sting! Christ resurrection took the sting out of death!
On this special occasion we celebrate the cornerstone and foundation of our faith, that being the resurrection of the lamb of God, slain from the foundation of the world! And because He lives we shall live also! The event of His resurrection is verified by every flower that blooms, every bird that sings, by the babbling brook and the roaring of the sea. It is testified to by every breath we breathe and by every step we take. Today He is Lord of lords and King of kings, Hallelujah!
