The Other Side of the Stone

When Jesus was laid in the tomb it seemed as if Satan had won. Jesus' followers were closed up in a house in fear. The women who had been his supporters were distraught from losing their Hope. All they saw was a stone rolled across the tomb of the one they had given up their lives to follow. It seemed that all hope was lost. However, they didn't know what was happening on the other side of the stone. God's plan was being accomplished. The perfect sacrifice had taken away all the sins of the world to be remembered no more. Death had been conquered. Many times in our own lives, we see the circumstances on this side of the stone. God wants us to remember what was accomplished on the other side of the stone — to have faith in the finished and complete work of the Cross.
