Matthew 27:62-66
English Standard Version (ESV)
What does it say about the power of God that the Roman army would be so afraid of a dead man that they would send soldiers to guard his tomb and ensure he stayed in there?
What does it say about the power of God that even soldiers could not keep the Savior in the tomb?
God is at work. God is always at work, even in ways that we and the world do not understand. On the cross, God was at work, and in the tomb, God was still on the move. The powers of the world recognize that, even if they don't quite grasp exactly what God is doing. They fear his power, because they don't understand it - God's power isn't dressed in an army with swords and clubs.
As the futility of soldiers guarding a tomb shows, God will win this battle, and God will win the war -- grace wins, and peace will prevail. Nothing can restrain the mercy and power of God, and know this - God will use the entirety of God's power to pursue you with an unbreakable love!
