elaineer Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 The linen was neatly layed out,as if a body had risen without messing up the linen. If Robbers had come in to take away the body,the linen would have been in a mess,probably laying all on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haar Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Q3. (Luke 24:12; John 20:6-8) What about the grave clothes brought Peter and John to faith? What was so peculiar about them? A. The grave clothes were undisturbed proving that Jesus Divinely came out by the resurrection power from the grave clothes. Anything otherwise would have scattered the neat arrangement of the clothes. This boosted the faith of the disciples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grave clothes were neatly lying undisturbed confirming that Jesus was surely risen by a power that made Him slip out without affecting the position of the grave clothes.

Niyonka16 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Q3. (Luke 24:12; John 20:6-8) What about the grave clothes brought Peter and John to faith? ANSWER: When Peter and John entered the sepulcher, they did not see the body of Jesus; but they did see the grave clothes. It was not the empty tomb that convinced the apostles. The position of the grave clothes in the tomb attracted the apostles' attention and caused Peter and John to believe. These grave garments were arranged in a unique way, (a certain order), was very important. It was the linen strips (clothes) that caused John to believe. The grave clothes were in exactly the position the body had occupied. Scripture clearly tells us that when John “saw the arrangement of the grave clothes, he believed, beyond all doubt, that Jesus was risen.”The idea that Jesus would miraculously pass through the cloths makes better sense of the fact that John comes to faith, not after seeing that the tomb was empty, but after seeing the grave-clothes inside the empty tomb. Something about what he saw inside was remarkable. The position of the grave clothes in the tomb attracted the apostles' attention and caused Peter and John to believe: What was so peculiar about them? ANSWER: The burial cloth of Jesus is called the “Shroud of Turin. The "napkin" (KJV) or "burial cloth" (NIV) that had been on Jesus' head was folded separately. The presence of the grave clothes neatly folded on the shelf were mute testimony that Jesus' body had slipped free of the grave clothes without disturbing them whatsoever. The grave clothes didn't need to be unwrapped to let Jesus out, He passed from the grave clothes while they were still rolled up around his body. It has been rumored that folding the napkin at the table is a Jewish custom that means the person folding the napkin intends to return. We don’t need a “folded napkin” story to tell us that Jesus is returning or a “folded towel” story to tell us that “it is finished.” We have Jesus’ word that His atoning sacrifice was sufficient to pay the penalty for our sins and that it was finished on the cross. We also know that Jesus fulfilled the prophecies and promises of His first coming and will also fulfill those of His second coming. Jesus will return again!!
