Word: Clothes, folded
Verse: John 20:5-8 "And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth 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.Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed."
Facts: The body could not have been stolen because the linens were neatly folded! John's comprehension of the resurrection at the site of the clothes.
Spiritual: The reality of Jesus resurrection; the details God attends to. The rest of chapter 20 tells about Jesus' patience with the disciples in helping them realize the reality of his resurrection.
Application: I don't think I'll look at a pile of my kids clothes on the floor or fold them without remembering this passage and try to comprehend the reality of the resurrection. He is not dead, He is risen!
