LIVELY STONES MEDITATIONS

The Stone Has Been Rolled Away

13/4/2020

 
Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared, but they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 
And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 
Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’" 
[Luke 24:1-7 NKJV]

A favourite song from our early years of faith after The Lord got a hold of us, is this one ...
Brethren come see the tomb where Jesus lay
That stone's been rolled away
That stone's been rolled away
Death could not hold Him much less the grave
since that stone's been rolled away

And now He's risen
and now He's reigning
from within my heart He's singing
songs of praise
and now He's risen
and now He's reigning
since that stone's been rolled away

Lord roll that stone away
release me from this grave
make this hardened heart of mine
soft as potter's clay
O Lord shed abroad
the precious love of God
O Lord roll that stone away

Brethren come see the tomb where Jesus lay
That stone's been rolled away
That stone's been rolled away
Death could not hold Him
much less the grave
since that stone's been rolled away


Our prayer today is 'Lord continually and eternally roll that hard stone away from our hearts, releasing Your compassion and love in us, that it may flow from us in torrents; turning that love back towards You, Lord, and filling us with Your compassion for our fellow men and women. In Jesus name. Amen.'

Incidentally, we listened to the 5th April sermon (5th April 2020 'Finding Your Voice In The Storm') by Pastor Carter Conlon of Times Square Church, which we found powerful. Here is a link to the church Sermons page.
