VERY LARGE ROCKMark 16
< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
After the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, His body was rested in a tomb with a very large rock to permanently seal Him up. The attempt of His persecutors was to seal off the hope of man; to interrupt and to deny the message of the Gospel that was to deliver the salvation of men. All of the persecutors from Pilate to the soldiers that led Him away through to the Calvary missed but ignorantly filled up the lamp with oil. The lamp that was filled up has been generating the light that no darkness can comprehend and the light that cannot be hidden. Jesus is alive today, tomorrow and forever! No tomb can hold Him down neither is there any rock that is large enough to deny us from accessing Him. Have you been struggling to reach unto Him? You have given your life to the Lord, but you are not experiencing any relationship with the Lord. Could it be that there is a large rock that is in place as a representative of hindrance between your walk with Lord? On the day of JesusÕ resurrection, some wanted to see His body. Mark 16:1-3, ÒNow when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they said among themselves, ÔWho will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?Õ 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled awayÑfor it was very large.Ó Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome wanted to see the body of Jesus when they were confronted by a large rock as a hindrance. In your attempt and desire to seek and to know Jesus, hindrances and large rocks will also give up on your behalf. If you will look up with expectation for your large rock to be moved, there will be a manifestation of the move of your large rock. All that the three did for the large rock to move itself was in looking up. They looked up and they saw that the stone had been rolled away. It was a large rock that could never been moved by their strength or determination. If you want more experience with the Lord and you want to continue in seeking Him more and you want to have a personal relationship with the Lord, begin to look up only onto Him and not to any man. God will grant you an open door and you will enter through His gate unto to His court. Jesus has paid it all on the cross; look up to Him He will lead you to where to meet with you. Mary Magdalene, not any of His disciples, saw Him first because she saw the large rock moved first. Seek Him and you will find Him. He is faithful to all His word.
