only HIM...

Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection?


The gospel of John 20:7 tells us about the napkin, which had been placed over the face of Jesus. It was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly-Folded. It was placed at the head of that stony burial chamber. Is that significant? 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 time.The folded napkin had to do with 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 was done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth and clean his beard; he would then 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, folded his napkin and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table because the servant knew that the folded napkin meant, "I'm not finished yet." The folded napkin that Jesus left meant, "I'm coming back!"

Jesus is Coming Back!!!!



If you surrender your life to Jesus, HE WILL SAVE YOUR SOUL...

...and if you love others like you love yourself, you can bring their souls to Jesus!

Souls are the only thing we can bring with us to heaven... i suggest we bring as much as we can!
