Birthday Rock

Rebecca, Summer the kitty, and the rock

"We were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:4)

Our Rebecca has always been fascinated with rocks. 

As a little girl, she collected rocks. 

As a teenager, when she drove to Virginia to check out Liberty University, the message rock on campus read: "Rebecca, your Shepherd is here."

Recently, she found an interesting rock at the tree and plant nursery behind her house in Indiana. Her dad and I bought it for her birthday, and the nursery delivered it yesterday.

This morning, she texted: "I just saw it!"

"The birthday rock is the empty tomb!"

The tomb is empty, beloved. Jesus is alive! Therefore, walk in newness of life!

"In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus!" (Romans 6:11)
