“Who will roll the stone away?”
Mark 16: 1-8

This is Easter Sunday and around the world this day Christians are greeting one another in a number of languages and dialects with this ancient greeting, “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!” This day is known for the rejoicing of believers everywhere over the central fact of our faith that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead.

The French thinker, Auguste Comte, once told Thomas Carlyle that he was going to start a new religion that would replace Christianity. “Very good,” replied Carlyle. “All you have to do is to be crucified, rise again the third day, and get the world to believe you are still alive. Then your new religion will have a chance.”
