Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His Resurrection?

The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes.

"Blessed are the merciful,  for they will be shown mercy." – Matthew 5:7  By Robert H. Schuller If you want to change your world,change yourself.  How do you do that? I know of only one way.

But to treat people mercifully, you first have to learn to treat yourself with mercy. Accept yourself as Christ accepts you—just as you are! If you lack a deep inner sense of self-worth, you will constantly have problems with other people. You will be unkind, critical, and gossip.  You'll lash back. And eventually you will  undermine the most important aspects of  your life and it will collapse all around you. Follow Christ's example. Be merciful and  God will step in and show you mercy, too.
