It was an unknown, unfamiliar and unrelated Joseph of Arimathaea (Mark 15:43-46) that assisted Jesus to carry His cross to the sepulchre and buried Him. His(Jesus') relatives and close disciples deserted Him. It is only God that knows where you will die(in old age), where you will be buried and who will bury you!
That reminds me of an incident that happened many years ago. A brother that was so close to his mummy and deeply loved by his mummy in Nigeria traveled to the United kingdom (UK) for greener pastures and while he was away, his beloved mother died and was put in a mortuary, but her darling son couldn't come home from the UK to buried his mother because his resident permit(papers) had not been perfected or given and he had overstayed. He called me on the phone, crying profusely to tell me his plight, we had to join hands to bury his mother in his absence. Also, an elderly man died in my community sometime ago, it was a close neighbour that was called upon by his wife to quickly bathe and dress him before his relative came from a far distance.
Love other children as your own. Live peaceful with your neighbor —it is only God that knows who will bath and bury you!
I pray the Lord will give you heart, wisdom and capacity to live peacefully with all men and women In Jesus Name.
