Matthew 27:65 (NKJV) 65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you know how."
We have doors and windows to protect from the cold, the heat, the wind and rain, locks provide security from the elements outside, against burglary and just plain fear of the unknown. The Pharisees lived in fear of losing their authority and when they had successfully put Jesus away, their new found fear was of the people believing another lie and thinking He had risen from the dead. The door of the tomb of death must be locked so no one will pretend He is risen.
Many today lock the imaginary door of me, myself and I against intrusion by anyone especially God, man cannot lock God away or out of this life we exist because of Him not in-spite of Him. Jesus, tells us He is the Door of life and no one will receive His Eternity without first coming through that Door. Go ahead make your life "as secure as you know how", remember however, God was not locked in a tomb guarded by men, He was laid there to prove Mercy and Grace to a world lost in sin.
Heavenly Father help us to see with your eyes the life we must live to receive Eternal Life. Amen
