A TRUE STORY
It was finished!
….or so they thought! The first day of the week, as the sun came up, grieving women sorrowfully carried their burial spices to the tomb. There they would anoint the body of Jesus, their dearest Lord. “How shall we ever roll aside the huge stone over the entrance?” asked one of them. There was no good answer. Approaching the burial place, they
stared in disbelief - the entrance was already open! (Later, it was told that “there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and rolled aside the stone and sat on it. His face shone like lightning and his clothing was a brilliant white. The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and fell into a dead faint.”) Stunned, the women heard the angel say, “Don’t be frightened…I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified, but he isn’t here! For he has come back to life again, just as he said he would. Come in and see where his body was lying. . . .And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead…” Frightened but overjoyed, the women ran to find Jesus’ followers and deliver the angel’s message. Jesus’ suffering, as he hung on the cross, was indeed over! It was finished! But the forgiveness of sins, because of his sacrifice, had just begun! “There is forgiveness of sins for all who turn to me.” - Jesus (Luke 24:47 The Living Bible) Other references and quotes found in Matthew, Mark, Luke -The Living Bible/ Barclay
