Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection?
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. Is that
important? You¡¯d better believe it! Is that significant? Absolutely!
Is it really significant? Yes!
4. in order to understand the signi?cance 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.
5. For in those days, the
wadded napkin meant,
'I'm done'..
