Comfort from Christ's Cerements
John 20:1-10
The first day of the week comes Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, to the sepulcher…


Finding one of his children had been greatly shocked and overcome by the first sight of death, Dr. Arnold tenderly endeavoured to remove the feeling, and opening a Bible pointed to these words, saying, "Nothing, to my mind, affords such comfort, when shrinking from the outward accompaniments of death, the grave clothes, the lonelineess, as the thought that all these had been round our Lord Himself, who died and is now alive for ever more."

(Dean Stanley.)
