BLESSINGS OF THE CROSS - DAY 26
Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord
of both the dead and the living. ROMANS 1 4 : 9
Early Sunday morning, in the inky blackness
before dawn, soldiers stood guard over Christ’s tomb.
Knowing that to go to sleep on duty was an offense
punishable by death, the highly trained unit remained
alert. Their lives depended on it.
Suddenly, “there was a violent earthquake.” Almost
simultaneously, the predawn darkness was split by a
light so brilliant it looked like a laser of lightning! The
“lightning” took the shape of an angel who seemed to
reach from heaven to earth. Against the inky blackness
of the night the terrifyingly awesome being fearlessly
descended, walked over to the stone that blocked the
tomb’s entrance, flicked it away as though it were dust,
and then sat on it! And the gaping hole where the stone
had been, revealed there was nothing inside the tomb!
The tomb was empty!
