John 20:2-9

And so she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Yahshua
loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do

not know where they have laid Him." Peter therefore went forth, and the other
disciple, and they were going to the tomb. And the two were running together; and

the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first; and
stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go

in. Simon Peter therefore also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he
beheld the linen wrappings lying there, and the face-cloth, which had been on His

head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself. So the
other disciple who had first come to the tomb entered then also, and he saw and

believed. For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again
from the dead.

Here again, we see the excellence of love. We are told that when John looked into the

tomb and beheld it empty, that he saw and believed. Peter merely marveled. Going back to

Corinthians we are told that “love believes all things.”” It was love that allowed John to
believe while others doubted.

In the 21 chapter of John we are told of another encounter between the disciples and
Yahshua after His resurrection. Peter decided to go fishing and the other disciples joined

him. While they were a little ways from shore, Yahshua called to them, the disciples not
knowing who He was. In this encounter, John recognized Yahshua and told the other
disciples. Only after John told him, did Peter recognize that it was Yahshua.

John 21:7
That disciple therefore whom Yahshua loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." And so

when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on for he was
stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea.

Again, John’s perceptiveness can be attributed to his love. He was always hoping for

an encounter with Yahshua and was quick to believe. First Corinthians tells us that “love
believes all things, love hopes all things.”
