On Easter Sunday, the stone that had been rolled away revealed that Jesus’ tomb was empty. He had gotten out of his grave. And when he did, the blessings he had won got out with him. These blessings are now ours forever. The stone keeping his victory in can never be put back. This week we see how life got out with him. Jesus’ exaltation included him being entrusted with all rule and authority by his Father. The Lamb who was slain has now become the Shepherd who leads and protects the members of his flock. He holds our lives in time and for eternity in his hand, and no one will take them from his hand until we graze in heaven’s pastures.
