Jesus was seized by His enemies and crucified. The enemies were more afraid of a dead Jesus than a living Jesus. When He was doing public ministry, he had no soldiers to escort, but once He was buried, they were afraid that His disciples might steal his body from the tomb to claim His resurrection. In order to prevent His resurrection, they made the grave secure by rolling a large stone against the entrance of the tomb. They affixed the official seal of the Roman government on the stone and placed armed guards 24×7 to watch the tomb.
Jesus` followers went to the grave on the first day of the week. To their utter surprise the tomb stone was rolled away exposing an empty tomb. And they saw an angel telling them : “He is not here, for He is
risen, just as He said.”
Jesus did exactly what He said He would do. That is God’s way; He always fulfills His promises. We can count on this and prepare for His imminent coming for us in the mid air. Have a fantastic Friday
