Why Did Jesus Fold The Napkin In The Tomb After Resurrection? by koife(m): 6:42am On Oct 17, 2015 |
Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I never noticed this...SOOOO GLAD I TOOK THE TIME TO READ THIS! The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed separate from the grave clothes. Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, 'They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!' Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see.. The other disciple outran Peter and got there first. He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth 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 to the side. Was that important? Absolutely! Is it really significant? Yes! In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition. When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it.. The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished. Now, if the master were done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table. The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, 'I'm done'. But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because........... The folded napkin meant, 'I'm coming back!' HE'S COMING BACK!!!! 2 Likes 1 Share

Yellowson:Of course, why wouldnt critic be smelled There are so many holes in this, no offense, dreamed-up-regurgitate hence the skepticism How and why people COPY information seen on websites without checking out or verifying AN assumed ''Jewish custom'' like a true Berean would do, just beats me. koife:Maybe it's because you're unwittingly helping along and/or perpetuating the distortion of John 20:7 |

ifeness:Of course you couldnt help slipping in a sarcasm Zombies, as a matter of fact, are fictional sou-lless living dead beings, deep rooted in voodoo belief and/or other popular folklore popularised by Hollywood, by Michael Jackson's Thriller music video etcetera ifeness:The story teller was on point and doesnt need to hire Shakespeare Shakespeare's got nothing on this nor on the story teller They dont dont teach or explain things like these in the body of Christ Why? Because its not a money making opportunity Wish you understood the significance of the wrapped up, rolled round or enveloped cover cloth If one doesnt brace oneself, the realization of what this snippet of information reveals could be mind-boggling The cover cloth lying around has nothing whatsoever to do with Jesus coming back 1 Like |

MuttleyLaff: If claimed I paid some money into your bank account, won't you check you account balance or would you go shopping without being sure. |
Re: Why Did Jesus Fold The Napkin In The Tomb After Resurrection? by MuttleyLaff: 12:15pm On Oct 18, 2015 |
ifeness:This is an easy question to answer, as the outcome of the answer is determined by the way in which we regard each other and how we've been behaving towards each other. If the regard is high and the behaviour alright, of course, your word is bond, faith and trust kicks in, so gladly, would go shopping without being sure If the regard and behaviour is otherwise, there's need to check the account balance |

MuttleyLaff: How has your god been behaving to you to make you trust it? |
Re: Why Did Jesus Fold The Napkin In The Tomb After Resurrection? by MuttleyLaff: 2:45pm On Oct 18, 2015 |
ifeness:Whether it's acknowledged or not, whether you care enough or dont care enough to admit it, if not controlled, everyone has a god of some sort, which behaves to them in a manner, enough for them to trust it God, in this good relationship built on faith and trust behaves like a gentleman, and gave me power, love, sound mind and self-control. |
