The angels of Satan were present to see that

no power should take Jesus from their grasp.

But as the mighty being sent from the throne

of God approached, they fled in terror from

the scene.

The angel laid hold of the great stone at the

mouth of the tomb, and rolled it away, as if it

had been but a pebble. Then with a voice that

caused the earth to tremble, he cried:

“Jesus, Thou Son of God, come forth. Thy

Father calls Thee!”

Then He who had earned the power over

death and the grave came forth from the

tomb. Above the rent sepulcher He

proclaimed, “I am the resurrection, and the

life.” And the angel host bowed low in

adoration before the Redeemer, and

welcomed Him with songs of praise.
