How impossible was it?

  • A Roman Guard stabbed Jesus on the cross to make sure he was dead and was dead for three days.
  • Jesus was wrapped in 20lbs of cloth and spices, and placed in a cold hollow of rock.
  • A stone weighing around 1 ton was placed in front of the tomb.
  • A government seal was placed on the tomb making it a federal crime to tamper with it.
  • A squad of 5 to 20 centurians were assigned to guard the tomb and prevent political unrest.
  • Non-biblical archeological finds strongly suggest these centurians would face execution if they left their post.

AND YET....

  • A one ton stone was tossed away from opening like a pebble.
  • A three day old dead man came to life.
  • The resurrected Jesus was not encumbered by the burial wrapping, but folded it in the cave.
  • Something so awesome and frightening made mighty Roman warriors run away like scared mice, risking penalties and possibly death.

So, no matter how impossible it is . . .

 The Awesome Power of God

 . . . God can change it in an instant.
