"When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened."
Guys one more day until the day of Jesus' resurrection! Awesome! I kind of wanted to finish the whole chapter but I wanted to save the rest of it until tomorrow. When I read of Peter I find it really cool that he ran out to see for himself the risen Lord. The chapter doesn't mention anyone else who ran out like this. Peter was known to be rash and a little quick to act, but it shows his personality and love he had for Jesus. Him running out there meant that he believed it. If you totally thought someone was lying to you you wouldn't just run out like Peter did. He must have been so excited to see Jesus again. I think I need to learn a thing or two from Peter here. I should learn to be excited to read the Bible or pray because I know he is living now. Jesus conquered the grave! Let us try to be like Peter in this way! Push hard guys!
