Faith Tested


The sudden death of someone whom we love is a terrible test of our faith.  When Peter and "the disciple whom Jesus loved" ran to the tomb they found the body of Jesus gone (20:1-10.)  When Peter saw the cloths that had wrapped the dead body of Jesus, he remained unsure.  But the author tells us that when the Beloved Disciple entered the tomb, "He saw and believed."  The love between him and Jesus brought him to faith.  Through the rest of the chapter John shows us how others gradually came to faith.
