As I was reading past soakinguptheson.com journal entries on Good Friday, I came across the below insertion. Here’s the journal entry it was in: https://soakinguptheson.com/new/daily-journaling/he-is-coming-back/
When I typed in “Good Friday” in the search portion of the website, numerous journal entries popped up.
https://soakinguptheson.com/new/daily-journaling/he-is-coming-back/ Not all, most, had nothing to do with Good Friday, but I sat here and read and listened to a handful.
I hope that you can find some encouragement through at least one journal entry from that search.
On today, Good Friday…on the Easter weekend, the most important holiday for Christians…it is my hope that you find your hope in Jesus Christ.

He also saw the cloth that had been around Jesus’ head. It was folded up and laid in a different place from the pieces of linen. John 20:7
The caption read:
In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition.
When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it…
The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished. Now, if the master were done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table.
The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, ‘I’m done.’
But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because……….. The folded napkin meant, ‘I’m coming back!’
He is Coming Back!
Do you get it? He is coming back. Once Jesus walked out of that stone covered burial cave, He left a “little note” just to let all know that He will return one day.

May this Good Friday end up being the Best Friday of your life. Turn your life over to Jesus.
