Today's Passage: Mark 16
"Who will roll the stone away?" That was the biggest question the women had as they approached the tomb. They weren't concerned about the words Jesus had taught them, that He would overcome death. They weren't thinking about His promise that He would rise again. They were focused on a big, immovable stone. I've seen a copy of what they thought this stone would look like, and let me tell you, they weren't going to move it. It would take several strong men just to budge it...in fact, they made a track in the stone for it to roll, because they knew that once the stone was in place, it would take a huge effort to move it in front of the door to the tomb. They didn't design them to move again, for there was no need.
They were focused on a human problem, but Jesus dealt with an eternal one. They were worried about a big stone, but that stone was merely a symbol of what Jesus did to sin, death and hell! It's funny that once they got there, the stone was forgotten because they realized that Jesus was all He said He was and more!
What stone are you focused on today...is it an earthly problem that seems so big that no one can solve it? Jesus is working on so much more in your life. Can you look past the stone to see what eternal thing He's got for you today? He may be working on something that could make you forget that stone was ever a problem to begin with!
