In the Gospel of Luke, we see lots of "stones" in the Holy Week story. This week, we have looked at some of them together, and today, we see the most important one. In this passage, we study the "rolling stone" that covered the entrance to the tomb of Jesus and we see why it is so important that every Gospel writer includes it. It is a story of hope and faith, and it helps us to celebrate Easter appropriately.
This message begins a short series for Holy Week that looks at the references to the word "stones" in the Gospel of Luke. From Palm Sunday to Easter, Luke uses the word "stone" nine times and each of those passages teach us something unique about Jesus. In this first passage, we see that Jesus said that the stones would cry out if true believers did not give Him praise. What does that really mean? Hopefully, we will find out!
