As Jesus is placed in the tomb, we take the time to question what areas of our lives have become entombed? Did you have a hope or dream that did not be one a reality , but you still cling to? Is there something from your past that is holding you back? Now is the time to acknowledge and remove this obstacle from your life. If there is something that is representative of this that you can part with I encourage you to do this. Whether it is parting with a kitchen table thaf is too small for your family that you can pass on to someone who can use it. Or if it is more emotional I invite you to pick up a stone, pausing to hold onto it and sensing the weight. Then with resolution through it away, perhaps into a river or a lake. No longer constrained we are ready to be resurrected, and find new life.
