What Happened In The Garden | Jarod Smith, Lead Pastor 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. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch
