The Stone Was Rolled For Me

A Resurrection love letter: Remembering the weight of the cross and the glory of the empty tomb

By Carolina BorgesPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

They pierced His hands,
thinking they silenced grace.
But Love doesn’t die—
it waits.

Three days of silence
did not mean defeat.
The tomb held His body,
but never His peace.

Because He rose,
my shame is buried.
Because He lives,
my soul is carried.

He wore the crown of thorns,
so I could wear mercy.
He bore the cross,
so I’d never walk alone.

I am the sinner
He saw from the tree,
still He whispered,
“This one belongs to Me.”

And now, when dawn breaks
on Easter’s hush,
I don’t just remember—
I rejoice.

The stone was rolled,
not to free Him,
but to show us—
He’s already won.
