Stone

That stone was not moved by human hands. It was moved by an intervention from above! It was a huge stone. For years and years we wondered that who would roll it away for us.

It wasn't God who rolled it up there. It was us. That stone separated life from death by dividing the heretofore from the hereafter. As long as it remained there, we were afraid of it.

That tomb is death. But we didn't know that it was just a doorway. We are clear that upto that stone is our life. But what we didn't know was that beyond that stone is the greater world of life. In the end, God Himself had to roll away that stone. Thus He made it clear to us that the greater manifestations of life are not here, but beyond.

That life here and life hereafter are but one continuum!

The two fears humans always had were God and death. The red and the blood added frills of mystery to fear. Thus religion kept humans wrapped in fear. In fact it sincerely believed that this was the best for their safety. But just before and after one Sabbath, he tore both of them away. The first was the huge veil that had covered God behind fear. The second was the huge stone that covered death in fear.

Joined the two together, was the old religion!

I heard a loud voice from the throne say, "Behold, God's dwelling is with the humans!"
