These eggs represent the linen cloths that the body of Jesus was wrapped in as Joseph of Arimathaea, a respected counsellor in that day, asked for the body. He placed it in his tomb. Yes, Jesus had a borrowed tomb. The rock represents the stone that was rolled in the opening of that tomb. You see, the powers that be had done their best to get rid of Jesus but there was a part of them that was uncertain. They said someone might try to steal the body so that tomb needed to be secure with the rock and the guards. I think they also knew that the promise of Jesus was that he would not stay in the tomb and after three days he would come out.
As my Easter t-shirt says, "A lot can happen in three days." And as another saying goes, "Get ready. Sunday's coming!"
Consider...
