Christ's
Burial Clothes
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! 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 was 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 servant knew that the
folded napkin meant,
"I'm not finished
yet." He
folded His burial clothes
because he is coming
back.
