John 20:6-7 (LSB) 6 And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there, 7 and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but folded up in a place by itself.<\/p>\n

We used these verses recently in another devotional. But today we\u2019d like to use them again to teach from a different perspective; one that will further strengthen our faith!<\/p>\n

The verses above state that they \u201csaw the linen wrappings lying there\u201d.<\/p>\n

There was no body.<\/p>\n

The tomb was empty and the linen cloth that had been used to wrap the body of Jesus was lying there, no longer covering or wrapping His body.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the scripture says that the face cloth which had been on His head was \u201cfolded up in a place by itself\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, many of you reading this may think that we are going to discuss a supposed tradition regarding the folding of the napkin indicating that Jesus did this to signify His return.<\/p>\n

But this theory that has been used many times in modern preaching has no basis or historical proof. It is more folklore or legend than fact.<\/p>\n

However, there is still much significance in the fact that the cloth was folded!<\/p>\n

First, the intentional folding of the cloth is proof that there was no grave robbery. There was no chaotic, hurried removal of His body by thieves in the night.<\/p>\n

Instead, there was purposeful action on the part of Jesus. He took the time to fold the cloth instead of simply tossing it aside!<\/p>\n

Now, what His intention <\/i>was with the folded napkin remains a mystery. It is something we may never understand fully.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s OK! Some things are not meant for us to know.<\/p>\n

This is why we call it \u201cwalking by faith\u201d. We trust God without having to know the tiniest little details of everything.<\/p>\n

What we do <\/i>know, though, is that the folded cloth in the tomb quietly and powerfully testified that Jesus rose in victory, not by theft or accident, but with divine authority and purpose.<\/p>\n

He did not leave the grave still wrapped in cloths, as Lazarus did. Instead, He exited the grave as a sign of His authority and sovereignty, even over death.<\/p>\n

And in that<\/i>, we can find great comfort and a strengthening of our faith.<\/p>\n
