There was only one entrance to the tomb, and neither human force nor fraud could tamper with the stone that guarded the entrance. Here Jesus rested during the Sabbath. But prophecy had pointed out that on the third day Christ would rise from the dead. Christ Himself had assured His disciples of this. “Destroy this temple,” He said, “and in three days I will raise it up.” Christ never committed sin, neither was guile found in His mouth. His body was to come forth from the tomb untarnished by corruption (Manuscript 94, 1897). {5BC 1114.2}

Der var kun en indgang til graven, og hverken menneskelig styrke eller svindel kunne rokke ved stenen der vor for indgangen. Her hvilede Jesus i løbet af sabbatten. Men profetien havde peget ud at Kristus på tredjedagen vil opstå fra døde. Kristus havde selv forsikret Sine disciple om dette. "Ødelæg dette tempel," sagde ha, "og jeg vil oprejse det igen på tre dage." Kristus begik aldrig synd, der kunne heller aldrig findes svig i Hans mund. Hans legeme skulle komme ud af graven fri for fordærv. (MS 94, 1897).
