The Rolling Stone

My, my, my. I woke up this morning with a thought in my mind. There's a song by a rapper named Shabach called "The Rolling Stone." It says, "the Rock, roll, rolling stone, we gonna represent y'all for the King on the throne." This thought is in my head because that is what God is doing across the globe. Whenever it seems death has its final grip, when Satan (and yes he does exist, don't be fooled) has the tightest grip in this world, and when the love of most of us has become cold, that's when God (whose name is Jesus) steps in. Throughout world history and in the Bible, we have seen Him move in great ways. From the time Cain killed Abel, to Europe surviving the Bubonic Plague, to slavery being abolished in America, God has orchestrated hope out of these hopeless situations. The key word my friends is hope and hope makes no man, woman, or child feel ashamed. In the four gospels, Jesus continuously told His disciples that He's would be killed by the religious folks but would rise up again im three days. They heard but didn't understand (sound familiar=us). After suffering being beaten beyond recognition, crucified, and buried, His disciples scattered (except John). On the 3rd day, the women who ran hard with Him during His earthly services to mankind came to visit the grace but the stone was rolled away. The angels and later on in two or three of the gospels show Jesus appears to one of the women later. They said to them, why do you look for the Savior? He's living, He's not among the dead! They ran to the disciples who were and proclaimed (yes God uses women to preach the gospel as pastors, prophets, etc, too!) and told them the Master is alive. So some of you are like, this is talking to heavy. Not really but here's the focus point. A lot of us are in a dead situation. Some of have been married for years but no kids, and the doctors say its impossible for this to ever happen. Some of us are in the bring of suicide because life has turned for this worse. Some of us may even have AIDS or cancer that is into to death. Some of us have lost faith and become atheists or turned to itself religions that has no life but only the form of it. But now it's time for us to let God's power roll the great stone away in our lives today. This great stone can be anything. Lies, deception, extortion, poverty, adultery, pornography, doubt, fear, abandonment, homosexuality, abortion, new age thinking, unforgiveness, hatred, business deals gone bad, political corruption, and the list goes on. If we read the latter parts of each of the four gospels, we should realize that it was the life giving force of God that made to stone roll away. This was the same resurrecting Jesus from the grave. And this power is available to whosoever will believe in Him. It's time for us to be released from the grave. It's time for the barriers of life keeping us in grave situations. It's time for freedom only found in Jesus Christ. Simple, isn't? That's because God is simple because He is the epitome of everlasting love. Well, I reckon this is all I have for today. I encourage you all to read Matthew 28, Mark 16, Like 24, and John 20 about the stole being rolled away. Slightly different but all says one thing, at the right moment, let God roll stones in our lives away so life can begin today.
