Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb. They were both running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He stooped and looked in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he didn’t go in. Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus’ head was folded up and lying apart from the other wrappings. Then the disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed— for until then they still hadn’t understood the Scriptures that said Jesus must rise from the dead. John 20:3-9 NLT
The hidden nugget in this scripture is the linen that covered Jesus’s face. In the Jewish tradition the servant would watch to see when his master was done with his meal, if the master got up from the table and wadded up his napkin it meant he was finished, if he folded it neatly it meant he was coming back. The linens that wrapped Jesus’s body were just lying there, but the linens that covered his face were folded neatly. Today’s prayer is that we all would stand on his promise, he rose and he is coming back……Be Blessed and Happy Easter
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17
