Xet's Roll the Stone Away'
“EASTER THOUGHTS”
By Mrs. Adeline H. Loftis
320 E. Carolina Ave.
I walked one day by a place
where Jesus was buried. I looked
into an open doorway because I
was attracted by the noise. A juke
box was playing jazz; a couple
were jitter-bugging drunkenly; a
man laughed at them over his
drink, as he spilled it on the coun
ter with a far from steady hand;
coarse talk and racuous laughter
filled the smoky air. That place
held the grave of Jesus. True, I
saw no fresh mound, no headstone
saying, “Jesus is buried here;”
yet nevertheless He was buried
there!
I passed another place also one
day, a place where Cnrist was bur
ied. A place where men (and sadly,
women too) went in and out. A
package wa$ passed to each over
the counter from well stocked
shelve;. Contraband or legal?
Legal—yes—legal whiskey in our the stone away!
there also. I saw no guard before
a grave within a cave; I felt no
darkness, no earthquake, no rend
ing of rocks as when Jesus died,
but He was buried in that house,
I fear.
Many walk behind the “Stone
Curtain” of sin. They perhaps,
need help to roll away the stone
so they may see Jesus. Many
have found Him once, but for sun
dry reasons have rolled the stone
again against the door, burying
Him anew. Those, too, may need
help to push away the stone and
let Jesus walk into their lives
Many carry loads of care and
worry that are like stones in
weight. Do they also let them be
stones before their hearts, shutting
out Jesus?
Many try to shut Him into a cor
ner of their hearts, “seal it tight
while the rest of the heart is cen
tered on other things.*’ Jesus said,
“Give me thy Heart”—and “Thou
shalt love the Lord with all thy
heart." He did not say, "Give me
a little corner of thy heart and
seal the door”—no! No half-way
measures count with Jesus.
It’s Easter! That time of the
year commemorating the arrival
of Mary Magdalene and the other
Mary at the tomb of Jesus. Lo,
the stone is rolled away! The
Royal seal has been broken! Earth
ly Kings could not stop our Christ.
An angel sits inside pointing, “He
is not here—but risen!" How they
believed when He spoke to them.
How they adored Him! Has Christ
spokgn to us? Yes, and from out
side the tomb for he enters it never
again. It is we who place again
the stone between us and the living
Christ when we are indifferent
and bury Him from our lives.
May this Easter find the stone
rolled away! Let’s roll away the
stone from the grave in numerous
God-hidden places. Blessed it is to
know he walks without the tomb,
that He speaks to us! Let’s roll
