What is Entombing Me?

Theresa M. Williams Inspirational, , ,

I was part of a group meditation a few years ago where we were asked to close our eyes and imagine we were Lazarus, how the tomb felt, the cold and damp, how we felt emotionally. We meditated on this for a few minutes. Then, we imagined Jesus calling our name to come out of the tomb. It was very a powerful experience.

Today is Holy Saturday. Jesus is in the tomb. The Father, as we know, will call Jesus forth from His tomb early in the morning. New Song has a tune called “Arise My Love.” You can Google “Arise My Love by New Song lyrics” to read it in its entirety. The song describes several things: Hell would like us simply to forget Jesus, “He’s dead,” the soldiers’ fright from the resurrection event, the Father calling Jesus out of the tomb by saying “Arise My Love,” how Jesus no longer has to suffer, the grave could no longer hold the King. (Of course, we weren’t there; we don’t know how Jesus was actually resurrected, but it’s something to think about.)

As we meditate on either of the tomb examples above, we might ask ourselves: What is entombing me? Is it worry, facing a tough decision or issue, employment issues, family troubles, sickness, burnout, fatigue, doubt, sadness, depression? I could go on and on.

What does this ‘tomb’ feel like in light of the difficulty we are facing? Is it narrow and constricting (by choking our zest for life)? Is it scary? Is it aggravating as we try to get out of the tomb (the situation)?

Now that you have identified your ‘tomb,’ imagine Jesus calling you forth from that tomb:

“(insert name), come forth from your tomb! Don’t be afraid. Trust in Me. Behold, I will make all things new.”

Happy Easter everyone!

    • Jesus, I’m not sure why that is happening. Is there something you are getting in the emails (at the bottom perhaps)
      that will allow you to ‘change your preferences’ or something like that?
      Another possibility is you may have a virus in your computer and thus the duplicate emails.
      You may want to consider that as well. I hope you don’t have one….

  49. Today, I went to the beach with my kids.
    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
    daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the
    shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is
    totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
