But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened. (Luke 24:12 ESV)
Having heard the unbelievable, Peter ran to see the evidence for himself: the wrappings, the empty tomb. And he went home marveling, still not believing. Seeing is not believing, as much of a realist as one may claim to be. Peter had also heard. But unlike the women, he refused to remember and trust. Trust in God and in the One He sent to tell us. That is essential if we are to embrace reality.
