Who was the only apostle who didn't consider the women's testimony of Jesus' empty tomb 'an idle tale' and the first to run to the tomb to be joyfully informed first-hand? It was Peter.

Peter, whose weakness and sin had just been eerily uncovered when the rooster crowed. By Jesus' prediction and subsequent fulfillment, His name was glorified and Peter's was made low.

Having now very little confidence in himself and much confidence in the Words of the Saviour, he runs expectantly to the tomb
