On this resurrection Sunday, we are reminded that the stone wasn’t moved so that Jesus could escape the tomb. That would indicate that Jesus was confined to His surroundings. We find in John’s account of the resurrection that Jesus came to the disciples in a locked room, this shows us that His surroundings do not put limits on Him. The stone was rolled away so that we could look in and see what was once dead, what had no life, was now fully resurrected with life once again. He still does the same in our lives today. What is dead, no hope situations, He raises them back up and gives us a hope (assurance) that the finished work of the cross gives us victory.
