The Most Pivotal Weekend Ever

 I have for some random reason been avoiding the tale of an illegal trial, torture, and crucifixion.

How discouraged and downhearted Christ's disciples must have felt on Thursday night, Friday, and even Saturday.  They didn't know Sunday was coming.

We can rest assured that Sunday did come.

One small detail from the empty tomb.  Jesus cast off the linen shroud in which His body had been wrapped, but He took special care to fold the napkin place over His face.

Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulcher, and sees the linen clothes lie, And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

Why did John tell us that little detail? I have heard that it was a Jewish tradition, when one finished a meal, to leave the napkin on the table.  However, if someone stepped away, and was planning to return, He would fold his napkin so all that saw it would know that He would come again. That is an important detail to understand. Thank you, John.  He had risen and He will come again!
