TALKING STONES

Luke 19:40

And He answered, and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

 

All of creation honors it's creator with worship and praise; all creation watches GOD and follows His order. If it did not follow the order and balance of GOD, chaos would be the result and there would be no system or function. Think about the planets; should one of them stop functioning according to the plan of GOD, the whole Universe would become unstable and dissolve into chaos; the chaos which existed before GOD said, "LET THERE BE LIGHT, AND THERE WAS LIGHT". 

 

Since man is the highest of the created order, the highest praise and worship is required. Should humankind cease to praise GOD and worship Him, the very stones and all creation would cry out. Yes, the stones have a voice; their voice honors GOD. When JESUS was crucified, the rocks split and there was a great earthquake; darkness fell upon the whole earth. The stones were crying out and all creation turned dark until such time as the LIGHT, JESUS, shone forth from the tomb, at the resurrection. The rocks cried out, because humankind stopped praising GOD; and killed the LORD of Glory. 

This week we will look at the two sets of stones in Joshua 4. If you want to read ahead, we will discuss the two sets of stones and their meaning.

IF THESE SHOULD HOLD THEIR PEACE, THE STONES WOULD IMMEDIATELY CRY OUT.
