Sit On It!

By Pastor Ken Foreman

Text: Matthew 28:1-8

The women came to the sepulchre in sorrow, wondering who would roll away the stone so they could care for the body of Jesus...

But, before they arrived, the angel of the Lord descended. He rolled away the stone and then sat on it - waiting for the women to arrive. When they got there, he had words of comfort for them...
  • Fear not!
  • You seek Jesus - who was crucified
  • He is not here
  • He is risen as He said
  • Come, see the place where the Lord lay
  • Go, quickly, and tell His disciples...
    • that He is risen from the dead
    • behold, He goeth into Galilee before you
    • there ye shall see Him
  • Lo! I have told you!
It is interesting to note that what the women thought of as a problem, (rolling away the stone,) the angel was powerful enough to not only take care of it, (do the work,) but also to sit on the problem in victory!
