Resurrection

The Stone Rolled Away

"And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away — for it was very large."
Mark 16:4

Reflection

They walked along worried about who would move the heavy stone. They arrived and it was already gone. God often settles beforehand what we most dread.

Prayer

Father, I hand You the stone I am worried about today. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What were the women worried about on the way?
  2. What problem are you worried about right now?
  3. How did God take care of it before they arrived?

5-minute activity

Each person writes a worry on a stone or a crumpled ball of paper. Pile them up, then pray together and "roll them away" into a box. Read Mark 16:1-6.
