September 27th -- Matthew 27:57-66
Give the passage a read, please!
You know, it's almost comical, once you know Jesus has risen, to read about the soldiers being placed to guard the tomb. These people are so paranoid the disciples will take the body out that they actually place guards by the tomb. And what happens three days later? It wasn't any disciples who rolled away that stone - an angel came and rolled in. I almost feel bad for those poor guys who had to report that. "Y-y-y-yes, Pilate, sir. There was this huge man with wings dressed in white. He started to m-m-move the stone... and th-th-then we passed out, sir..." I can't imagine that went over well... However, it just goes to show you how flimsily our plans fall in comparison with God's.
God bless! Shalom!
