The women woke up early on the Sunday morning to go and anoint the body of Jesus. Their hope was dead but that did not stop them from doing what they needed to do.
And they wondered who would roll away the stone....but they went anyway...in faith.
And they were blessed to be the first ones to see the empty tomb and to hear from the angel that Jesus had risen.
Arise my dear sister!
Arise my dear brother!
It is your time.
Not to worry when all hope is gone but to keep pressing on.
Not to worry who will roll the stone away but to move forward in faith trusting that God will make a way.
And trusting God to do as He has said.
He will roll away the stone of sickness and reproach.
He will roll away the stone of fear and disgrace.
He will roll away the stone that you have had sleepless nights about even before you get there.
He will prepare an angel to give you the best news you could ever imagine
Resurrection instead of dead hopes.
He will make you live again
Mark 16:3-7
