They found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. Luke 24:2
Luke 24 is a chapter of openings. First an open grave; Christ is risen. Secondly, opened Scriptures as the Lord Himself expounded them (v. 27). Thirdly, an open home as the disciples invited Him in (v. 29). Fourthly, opened eyes as “their eyes were opened, and they knew Him” in the breaking of bread (v. 31). Fifthly, opened minds as “He opened their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures” concerning Him (v. 45). Sixthly, an opened heaven as He was “carried up into heaven” to be received by the Father in glory (v. 51). Lastly—and what a natural response—opened mouths, as the disciples praised and blessed God (v. 53). — R. P. A
By faith His boundless glories there our wondering eyes behold,
