What Happened In The Garden?

Apr 20, 2025    Jarod Smith

When Peter stepped into the tomb, he didn’t find chaos—he found order. The face cloth was folded and set apart, like a quiet declaration from Jesus: “I’m not done. I’m coming back.” It wasn’t just a burial detail—it was a priestly statement. Just like the High Priest left his garments behind when the work was finished, Jesus left behind the linen as a sign: Sacrifice accepted. Atonement complete. Death defeated. And in a garden—a place that echoes Eden—a woman named Mary heard her name called by the risen Jesus. Just one word, and her world changed forever. This message is a reminder: the garden story has been rewritten. The curse is broken. Jesus is alive. And your seat at the table is ready.
