already rolled
Jesus overcame death and rose again. He completely broke down the barriers between God the Creator and creation, and made heaven and earth become one. The grave, which used to be a symbol of death and despair, has now become a warm nest where eternal life is conceived. I pray in the name of the Lord that the joy of the resurrection this morning may overflow and overflow in you.
Now, Ogi came, and the tomb gate was blocked by a very large stone. They don't have the strength to move this. If you can't open the tomb door, you're a fool You don't have to come. So, guys, do you have any solutions? None at all. When they reached the tomb, they asked, “Who will move the stones?” I'm drumming backwards. But what happens when you come here? The stone blocking the tomb had already been rolled away. The barrier between Jesus and them has already disappeared. It is clear that it is an impenetrable barrier, but I did not give in and went to Jesus while thinking of my first love. God broke down all those barriers and made me the first witness of the resurrection.
Gentlemen, nothing can stop the footsteps of followers of Jesus Christ. No matter what happens, if we seek and rely on the Lord, the risen Jesus Christ will personally open the stone door and welcome us. He will hold our hand, pat us on the shoulder, and accompany us. He will surely work to overcome and triumph in any despair or sorrow. Please believe it. And I hope that you will seek the Lord with all your might.
Where is the resurrected Jesus now? The angel said, “He has gone to Galilee, and there you will find me.” But guys, think carefully. Did the disciples really meet Jesus in Galilee? Nope. The women met the risen Jesus in the tomb. He appeared not to Galilee, but to two disciples on their way to the village of Emmaus. He visited the disciples gathered in Jerusalem, ate and drank together, and shared the joy of resurrection. What do you mean? Galilee is not referring to any particular place. This is where we stand on our feet, Galilee. Aung Daung, you and I, ordinary people who are out of the ordinary, living with pain and despair, this is Galilee where the resurrected Lord resides. here now!! In this worship we offer, Jesus Christ, who overcame death and resurrected, is with us in all our daily lives.
Beloved, whatever you encounter, do not be afraid and do not despair. There is nothing to frown and sigh. Find and rely on the risen Lord. Then the Lord will answer and open all the stone doors that stand in our way, and allow us to enjoy the miracles of heaven. He will finally overcome the world, sing the victorious dog, and make them holy and blessed heavenly people who enjoy the joy of heaven. I bless you in the name of the Lord that all of you gathered here will become the protagonists.
