They take the body of Jesus to
its resting place. The huge stone over the tomb is the final sign of the permanence
of death. In this final act of surrender, who would have imagined this tomb
would soon be empty or that Jesus would show himself alive to his disciples,
or that they would recognize him in the breaking of bread? Oh, that our hearts
might burn within us, as we realize how he had to suffer and die so as to
enter into his glory, for us.
