Highlight from today's sermon: Jesus didn't need to roll away the stone.
We know from the gospels that, after His resurrection, solid walls and locked doors were no barrier to Jesus. He appeared before His frightened disciples who were in hiding, and disappeared again just as easily. So He didn't need to move the stone in order to leave the tomb. He could've just walked straight through the hill if He wanted.
So why did He roll the stone away?
He did it for us. For his followers at the time, and for all the millions of followers in the years since then. He rolled the stone away to prove that He wasn't in the tomb anymore. Those who were alive at the time could simply walk over to the tomb and look inside, and sure enough, no body! That's why those who wanted to deny His resurrection spread the story that the disciples had stolen the body, despite how ludicrous that was. And in the thousands of years since then, people can still point to the evidence of the stone and the empty tomb to back up the claim that Jesus is alive.
He is not here! He is risen!

One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” And they left their nets at once and followed him.
Matthew 5:18-20
