Matthew 27:66 So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.
When you have been pushed a bit far and lied a bit much, do you stay the journey and continue telling lies, continue covering up and continue going astray – or will you stop and admit stuff?
These men had gone too far and needed to make sure their own worlds were secure in their own lies. They tried to stop the inevitable! They tried to maintain their own control!
When God says something should be done His way, we need to stop our ways and listen and obey. Doing things God’s way should be the only way we see possible!
