Where are my
stones?
What are
their names?
Would I know
them if I met them face to face?
And if the
empty tomb I stood in front of was me would
I call it death?
Or would I
call it resurrection?
My heart
beats out the answer much clearer than I live it.
O, happy
emptiness! It’s what I need a lot of to be full.
Rolling
stones is what it’s all about but Resurrection is another name.
Be patient
with each other’s stones (Ephesians 4:1-3).
Jesus was
gentle with Thomas’ stone (John 20:24-29).
Peter had to
roll away some stones in his life too (John 13:6-11).
The call
continues.
We are
called to help others experience Resurrection, to help them break
out
of their tombs.
Of course,
that means we’ll have to break forth from our own tombs
first.
We’d look
kind of silly preaching from the inside of our tombs, wouldn’t
we?
