Who Shall Roll Away the Stone?

If I had more time, I would put more effort into this, but I'll just have to leave you with my favorite account of the resurrection morning:

Mark 16:
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.


Whilst they were occupied with the dilemma of how to open the tomb, they had no idea how gloriously and completely the problem had already been solved. Their shock and amazement is evident in that they 'went out quickly, and fled...for they trembled and were amazed...neither said they anything to any man; for they were afraid'.

It always gives me the tingles. :)

Thank you for sharing those verses. I had not read Mark's account of the Resurrection this year.

Happy Resurrection Sunday!
