"...but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened." (24:11-12)
This morning all over the world, millions of people gathered to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, and to hear once again the story of the empty tomb.
As I reflected on these two small verses, I was reminded that the same thing that happened this morning, also hapened that morning 2000 years ago. Some women told the story of what they had seen and heard, and there was two responses to their story. Some who heard the story thought it was just an "idle tale" and did not believe. Peter, however, had a different response. He believed and went to take a peek. Oh to have been there on that day to be the one of the first to see the grave clothes, the stone rolled away, the angels.
If you have heard the story, how have your responded. If you haven't, here is a powerful unique musical video version of this story... take a few minutes and enjoy... take a peek...come close, listen to the story...
Now that you seen the story, how will you repond? Disbelief? Celebration? Life change?
