The Rock Rolled

Matthew 28:1-7

1  After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

2  There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.

3  His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
4  The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

5  The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

6  He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

7  Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."

 

Happy Easter!
