John 20:6-7
Excerpted from: Self-Government and Responsibility (Part Two)Look at this little vignette from the life of the most important Person who has ever trod on the face of this earth. The context in these verses is the resurrection.
Can you imagine that? Right after the resurrection, Jesus is alive, He is very God again, not just God in the flesh, but now He is God in the Spirit. "Hey, I have things to do, zoom, let us go out there, let us meet My Father once again, let Me present Myself to Him, let us get on with this work." Before He leaves the tomb, He takes the cloth and folds it neatly and lays it aside. I think that is kind of interesting. Is God neat? Does He strew His clothing all over the room? Does He drop His clothing wherever it happens to be, or wherever He happens to be? "Oh but mom will come by and pick it up and put it in the hamper or whatever, hang it up."
No you see, He neatly folded things, He took care of it, and you can be sure that Jesus would meet any responsibility in a very careful way and the area that He was in would be well taken care of. If He moved into a place that had not been taken care of, He would not be there for very long before that place would be sparkling clean, if nothing else, and whatever bit of furniture was there, would be in neat order and the clothing would be hung up. He would take care because He is a responsible Person and He has the authority from God to take care of those things.
