"But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large." Mark 16:4 NKJV
The stone had been rolled away from the mouth of the tomb but, Jesus wasn't there, He had risen just as He said He would, and what's more, He is still alive today and will be for eternity!
There is nothing more thrilling or exciting than knowing that, death has been conquered. Yes, we will all die at some point but, for those of us who know Jesus as their Saviour, just like Jesus, they will rise for eternity in heaven. None of us will have to wait; our death will be like closing our eyes and opening them again, and instantly we will have been transported to eternity in heaven. It's painful for those who we leave behind but, one day, if they believe in Jesus, they will join us for the biggest celebration we have ever known.
Some unbeliever may feel that this is all a fairy story, that death is final, 'No-one comes back from the dead.' They don't? Well Jesus did and there is so much evidence in the bible to prove this. Some people in our world today, have been resurrected from the dead and these were no flukes, some doctors have been amazed over it.
We have all longed for a new start and, for believers in Jesus, this has been fulfilled. But we have still continued to commit sin. But the real new start will be the greatest of all. We will reign with Jesus in heaven. What will it be like. I haven't a clue but, it will be so different to how we live today. We not be always sitting on a piece of grass singing hymns and chorus' to Jesus. That will be a part of it of course but there will be much, much more. One thing, we will not need electricity for lighting because Jesus is the Light. There will be no darkness and no energy bills; in fact, I don't think we will have any bills at all.
Our mind just cannot comprehend what heaven will be like. Read the latter part of Revelation to grasp an idea of it all. This is God's blue print of heaven and your name is written there. When Jesus was dying on the cross, He shouted out, 'It is finished.' John 19:30. It was like God had been writing a story and painting a picture of all that had happened and then, He put His pen and brush down because, it was finished. Mission completed and successful.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:
Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
