石头被滚开
在马太福音耶稣被钉十架和复活的记载中，有几个地方都提到一个从磐石凿出来的坟墓和被滚开的石头。若没有这块石头被滚开的奇妙细节，耶稣受死、安葬、和复活的故事，便算不得是完全了。这块石头并不简单，它是从巨石刻凿而成、然后被滚到坟墓前的槽上的一块轮状大圆石；要把它滚到坟墓前或再次滚开它，要动用几个人才能做得到。
查尔斯. 司布真（Charles Spurgeon）曾就这个主题传讲了一篇以“石头滚开了”为题的奋兴讲道。他提醒我们，想像一下妇女们带着香料来到坟墓前的情景，她们不知道有谁会协助她们把石头从墓门滚开（马可福音 16:1-3）。从某些角度来看，她们的疑惑总括了我们心中很多的问题：我们如何越过我们生命中最大的障碍呢？我们的生命路上都布满了巨型的路障，就像推不动的大石，有谁会帮助我们移开它们呢？然而，当妇女来到坟墓前时，她们发现石头已被移开，并且有天使在上面坐着！神真是幽默啊：这块石头不单不再是障碍，它已成为一处休憩之地、一个胜利的标志、和日后很多美好故事的根基。石头已被滚开了！
主啊，求祢滚开我们生命中那些疑惑、混乱、和黑暗的石头，又挪走所有妨碍我们得到永生的障碍，因为荣耀永远属祢。阿们。
马太福音 28:1-10
1 安息日将尽，七日的头一日天快亮的时候，抹大拉的马利亚和那个马利亚来看坟墓。
2 忽然，地大震动，因为有主的使者从天上下来，把石头滚开，坐在上面。
3 他的相貌如同闪电，衣服洁白如雪。
4 看守的人就因他吓得浑身乱战，甚至和死人一样。
5 天使对妇女说：“不要害怕！我知道你们是寻找那钉十字架的耶稣。
6 他不在这里，照他所说的，已经复活了。你们来看安放主的地方！
7 快去告诉他的门徒，说他从死里复活了，并且在你们以先往加利利去，在那里你们要见他。看哪，我已经告诉你们了！”
8 妇女们就急忙离开坟墓，又害怕又大大地欢喜，跑去要报给他的门徒。
9 忽然，耶稣遇见她们，说：“愿你们平安！”她们就上前抱住他的脚拜他。
10 耶稣对她们说：“不要害怕！你们去告诉我的弟兄，叫他们往加利利去，在那里必见我。”
The Stone Was Rolled Back
"There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it." - Matthew 28:2
In Matthew’s account of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, there are several references to the tomb that was cut out of rock and the stone that was rolled away. The story of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection is not complete without this incredible detail about the stone being rolled away. This wasn’t just any stone. It was a big wheel chiseled from rock and rolled into a groove in front of the tomb. It would have taken several people to roll it into place and move it out of the way again.
On this topic Charles Spurgeon preached a triumphant sermon called “The Stone Rolled Away.” He reminds us to picture the women walking up to the tomb, bringing spices with them, and wondering who could move the stone for them (Mark 16:1-3). In some ways their wondering sums up many of our questions: How will we ever get past the biggest obstacles in our lives? In all of our paths are huge barriers, immovable stones. Who can move them for us? And yet, when the women arrive, they find the stone moved and an angel sitting on it! There is divine humor here: not only is the big stone no longer an obstacle; it’s a resting place, a sign of triumph, and a foundation of all the best stories to come. The stone has been rolled away!
Lord, roll away the stones of doubt, confusion, and darkness in our lives. Remove whatever stands in the way between us and everlasting life. For yours is the glory forever. Amen.
