THE FOLDED NAPKIN

This is one I can honestly say I have never seen
circulating in the
emails so; Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after
His
resurrection? I never noticed 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 at the head of that stony coffin.

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.

Is 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 is Coming Back!
