Sunday morning dawned. Light rising from the shadows of the deepest darkness the world has ever known. The third day of the epic climax of God’s redemption of man. Two guards – roman soldiers in full array – armor, shields, weapons and attitude are set to guard the tomb. A seal is placed on the stone – all Roman authority lie in the keeping of that seal. The seal bore the mark of the greatest empire in the world and to break it meant death. All means had been set in place to assure that what was placed behind that stone stayed behind that stone. It’s kind of funny if you think about it. Guarding a tomb.
