Easter sermon by Pastor Arputharaj
Who Will Roll Away the
Stone for Us? – Mark 16:3
Three ladies-Mary Magdalene, Mary and Salome are looking at the stone, but the tomb is empty. Jesus already walked out of the tomb. It is true, the stone was very large. Like that stone, today our problems are standing before us. It’s very big! more frustrating. This is not joke, nor fun, we need to be serious!

John 20:14 says,
Mary turned around and saw Jesus standing.
As long as Mary was looking at the stone, she got frustrated. When she turned around and saw Jesus. Jesus is standing right behind her. As long as you are looking at your problem, you’ll get tired, frustrated and all worries will attack you.

Firstly, turn around and see Jesus. He is standing behind you!
Secondly, Remembering His Words. Luke 24:8 - They remembered his words. Mary
treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart - Luke 2:19. Top priority to Jesus words, Jesus said: Heaven and earth
will pass away, but my words will never pass away - Matthew 24:35.
Thirdly, Believing in Resurrection. On the third day he will rise again -
Luke 18:33. Believing that Jesus will rise again on the third day,
they came up early to the tomb to meet Jesus! No religion, No faith can give
this glorious hope, believers die in Christ and be resurrected by Christ to
meet Him. Our faith leads to eternity!
Fourthly, Preparing for Resurrection. They went home and prepared spices and
ointments to anoint his body - Luke23:56. They prepared themselves to meet Jesus. “PREPARE TO MEET
THY GOD”. Amos 4:12.
We’ve a glorious hope that
the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we
ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words - 1
Thessalonians 4:16-18.
Death is not final. All
who died in Christ will be resurrected.
Regardless of your circumstances, still there is hope. It will happen, Colossians 3:4 " When Christ, who is our Lord and Savior shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory." What a great day that we will see Jesus and stay with Him forever!

Turn around and see Jesus.
Your eyes need to be fixed only on Jesus. If anyone gets frustrated, others
should lift him up with much prayer. Prepare yourself to meet JESUS. He is
coming soon. May the Resurrected Lord bless you with His power and authority
and lead your souls gloriously. Amen!
