Did The Stone Prevent Resurrected Jesus From Coming Out Of The Tomb?

I have heard several Christians, including some world-famous pastors, saying that after the resurrection of Jesus, the tombstone prevented Him from coming out of the tomb, hence the need for angels to roll away the stone for Jesus to be able to come out.

However I haven't been able to see anywhere in the Bible or the accounts given of His resurrection, that stated any such thing (Jesus coming out of the grave through the door of the tomb after the angel had rolled away the stone), hence I wonder where they could have gotten such an idea from.

Or is there anyone here who perhaps knows where in the Bible they might have gotten that idea?

Anybody?

I believe there's no such thing there though, because such a thing never happened, but just an assumption based on their underestimation of the resurrected Jesus.

They probably thought Jesus was another Lazarus who needed the tombstone to be rolled away for him to come out of the grave.

They forgot that this was the Resurrection and the Life, who called out Lazarus from the grave but didn't need anyone else to call Him out.

He called out Himself!

He Himself said that He has the power to lay down His life and the power to take it up again. John 10:18

So it's not the same with Lazarus.

This is resurrected Jesus!

After His resurrection, He didn't need any door to exit any place or to enter into a place.

He was just disappearing and appearing.

People would be gathered in a place with the doors shut and Jesus would just suddenly appear in their midst.

John 20:19 (KJV)

Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

John 20:26 (KJV)

And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

So the doors or walls were no longer a barrier for resurrected Jesus.

I believe that clearly depicts what happened after His resurrection.

The walls of the tomb or the tombstone could not hold or restrict Him.

So resurrected Jesus didn't need any angels to remove the tombstone for Him to come out of the tomb.

God bless.

The reason the angels came to remove the tombstone was not because of Jesus coming out, but for those of His coming in, to see that He was no longer in the grave but is risen! Matthew 28:2-7

Moreover Jesus said that those of the world would see Him no more but those of His.

John 14:19 (KJV)

Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

So if He had come out of the grave through the door after the angels removed the tombstone, the soldiers (the world) would have seen Him and that would have made His Word to fall to the ground.

But His Words didn't fall to the ground because Jesus didn't come out through the entrance, but left the tomb before the stone was rolled away, so the world never saw Him again.

Only those of His that He appeared to, saw Him after His resurrection just as He said.

God bless.

The stone wasn't preventing the ressurection it was a hindrance preventing the revelation of his resurrection. How would they know the wasn't in the grave any more, if no more could check the grave been a sealed grave and all.


That's why the Lord will roll away every hindrance every prince of Persia in the way of the revelation of his power
