What do you do when you see the unbelievable?
Usually, when presented with evidence that something miraculous has happened, we try and come up with some explanation, and there usually is. It's unlikely that a true miracle happened -- there's probably some perfectly plausible reason.
When Peter and John went into the tomb, what do you suppose they thought? They saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth wasn't with them, but folded up on its own. There was no body, which was unexpected, because they watched Jesus die. Usually, when people die, the body hangs around. It could've been grave robbers, but what grave robber takes the time to fold a cloth and place it elsewhere? Was there some sort of gang of impeccably neat grave robbers? Unlikely. But Peter and John had to consider every option... because there's usually a way to explain a miracle.
But sometimes, it really is a miracle.
