RESERVED SEATING
Have you ever tried to dine at a fine restaurant without reservations? Good luck with that one!
Reserving a SEAT is important.
If you go to the theater...reserved SEATS are required!
If you go to a sporting event...reserved SEATS are required!
Did you know that God makes reservations also? He reserves SEATS!
In Matthew 28, after the crucifixion of Jesus, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Jesus went to the tomb.
Notice vs 3, “There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and SAT ON IT.”
Notice the angel SAT ON the stone.
The Romans feared that someone would steal the body of Jesus and claim he rose from the dead. They even put a seal over the stone.
Not only did the angel break the seal, roll the stone away...but he SAT ON IT so no one could move it back!
When I was a teenager I had a sweet Camaro sports car. It was parked downtown as I had an appointment. The police told me that two boys ran into the station confessing they tried to steal my car. In fact they scratched it up a bit. The cop said the boys were frightened by two ten foot warriors with swords appearing on top of the car. They said the two warriors were just sitting there!! They were frightened out of their minds.
Everywhere I go, two angels follow me. I’ve named them, Goodness & Mercy, and they follow me all the days of my life.
What do you need God to sit on for you?
A new job, a health breakthrough? Do you need God to sit on one of your kids?
Call ahead now and make your reservations...
