Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. Luke 24: 1-3 KJV
Like we have said in the last post, the story of our Lord Jesus Christ is true, because everything about Jesus worked exactly to perfection. The timing was perfect, the environment was beautiful and everything went according to plan.
Jesus was wrapped in swaddling clothes as would a lamb set aside for sacrifice. The second thing was that where Jesus was born was Bethlehem in a place where Lambs are reared mostly for sacrifice. The Shepherds went in to see Jesus and saw him wrapped like a lamb set aside for slaughter. Then He was born in a place where lambs are kept.
Jesus went through all the stages that the lamb, unblemished, goes through before it is sacrificed. Our believe in Christ and all that He went through to connect us back to God the father sets us on that part that leads to life eternal. It also means that we as the new testament of the death and resurrection do not need to perform animal sacrifice because Christ has done it once and finished the work at Calvary!
On the day of resurrection, it was the start of a new season. The women went to the tomb where Jesus was buried expecting to see a dead body but they saw there a risen Jesus. And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. Luke 24: 5-7.
They met the stone that covered the tomb rolled away and an angel waiting to tell them the good news of Christ’s resurrection. This news they took to the Disciples of Jesus Christ.
