52 “And the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people” (Mat. 27:52-53).
Many of the saints who died, came out of the grave after Christ’s resurrection. He was the first to be raised from the dead and He brought the others out. And people saw men and women who died years and years ago in the Holy City. They were amazed to see them in Jerusalem. There was holy commotion in the city and the testimonies were so outstanding that they could not be denied. The Bible says they came out of their graves.
People went to the graveyard and saw the stones have been removed. There was prove, the Bible says they came out of their graves. You will ask, who opened the graves? Don’t forget, at the crucifixion of Christ there had been an earthquake. The Bible says 50 “And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split” (Mat. 27:50-51). And the rocks split. The whole earth shook up. All those stones cracked so it was easy to come out. They didn’t just appear. The Bible said they came out of their graves. A time is coming when we will also check out of this place. The son of man is coming again soon. Are you ready to meet Him?
