Who will roll away the stone?

(Romans 15:13) May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

(Mark 16:1-3) When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” 

1. The resurrection gives us hope for what  

(Mark 16:4-6) 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. 6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 

The resurrection of Jesus means your past failure doesn’t have to define your future. 

(2 Corinthians 5:17) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

The gospel  : I was struggling and Jesus helped me out 

The gospel : I was dead in my sins and he brought me back to life

2. The resurrection gives us hope for what

(John 11:5-6) Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days 

(John 11:21) “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 

(John 11:33-34) 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.“Come and see, Lord,” they replied. 35 Jesus wept. 

(John 11:40) Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” 

(John 11:44) The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

3. The resurrection gives us hope for

(Mark 16:6-7) “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’” 

(Romans 6:23) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
