A garden
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. John 19:41
Had you ever thought about that? I hadn’t. Just imagine–the place of the resurrection was in a garden. For me, that’s a beautiful thought. I was reading about this in a devotional book, Meditations on the Gospels, by George H. Morrison (one which I strongly recommend) and the thoughts by Mr. Morrison were wonderful. As he said, you might think that the place of the crucifixion would be a bleak and dreary scene. But no it wasn’t; there was a garden there. Our Jesus was buried in that place, which means that when He came up from the grave, He was in a garden.
Whether you and your family celebrate Easter as a holiday or not, may this warm your heart the same way it did mine. In the place where he was crucified there was a garden.
Bless you all,
