(Verses 1-3)1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body.
2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"
Those who brought spices to anoint Jesus' body were consumed with grief. They concentrated on practical issue. (Rolling away the stone from the tomb no doubt was an impossible task.) However we know from this chapter the stone was already moved prior to their arrival, and great joy would follow when they realized Jesus had risen.
Likewise in our darkest hour, we often tend to concentrate on a practical issue or responsibility. (One that seems like an impossible task.) We usually don't realize God has already removed that obstacle to clear the way for us, and make it possible for joy to return to our lives.
In few words:
Look to Him for a clear path.
