"On that Sunday morning the first thing that impressed the people who approached the tomb was the unusual position of the one and a half to two ton stone that had been lodged in front of the doorway"

About this Quote

This quote is describing the events of Easter Sunday, when Jesus increased from the dead. Individuals who approached the burial place were surprised to discover that the large stone that had actually been blocking the entryway had been moved. This was an uncommon event, as the stone was estimated to weigh between one and a half to 2 lots. This was a clear indicator that something amazing had occurred, and that the burial place was no longer sealed. This suggested hope and joy to the people who had actually been mourning the death of Jesus, and it was a suggestion of the power of God. The stone being moved was a physical symptom of the resurrection, and it was a reminder of the power of faith.
