“Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb.”
– John 20:1 (NRSVue)

In this photo, a closed door in a stone wall blocks entry. In John 20, a large stone had blocked entry to Jesus’ tomb but its mysterious removal opened the way for Mary Magdalene and the other disciples to see that the tomb was empty. As they shared that news with others, they became witnesses to the world—Christ is risen!
Thinking about your own life, what “closed doors” block entry into new life in Christ?
Pray for stones to be rolled away.
