I was singing "Thine be the glory" yesterday, which includes these lines:
Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
Kept the folded grave clothes where Thy body lay.
The gospels of Luke and John record that when Peter and the beloved disciple came to see the tomb, they saw the grave clothes lying there.
Jesus hadn't taken them with him. He wouldn't be needing them again. Left behind; all the vestments of death, left behind. The burden of sin; the wrath of the Father; the sorrows, the woe - left behind. He lives!
