(Luke 24:12 NKJV) But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.
Peter had heard that Jesus had risen from the grave. He was alive after being crucified and verified as dead. Peter wanted to believe what he had heard, but it was too impossible.
As he ran to the tomb and then looked inside it, where the body of Jesus had been laid to rest, he saw nothing but the linens that Jesus had been wrapped in.
Jesus wasn’t there. He was gone!
Jesus had spoken of this to his own disciples and had alluded to it in some of his conversations and debates with religious leaders. But nobody got it. Nobody would ever believe it would be possible.
But that’s OK. God doesn’t need our approval. He says something and then sticks to what He says. He is not a respecter of man.
I thank God that he sticks to His promises and doesn’t waver because of man’s opinions. It’s His faithfulness that brought Jesus back to life after being dead. It’s His faithfulness that allows us to trust in Him and never doubt.
There is no faithfulness that can be compared to that of our God. He is our Rock and our Redeemer.
