Personal Reflections For Pastors On The Lectionary Readings
John 20:1-18
One thing that strikes me in this text is the different reactions of each character to the resurrection. The other disciple (whom we might safely assume was John) stopped outside the tomb and looked in, cautiously surveying the scene from a distance. Peter rushed right in, wanting to get a close-up look at the situation. The other disciple then entered the tomb after Peter, and when he saw, he believed.
