“And after this Joseph of Arimathæa, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.”
John 19:38-40 KJV
“And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.”
Matthew 27:59-60 KJV
Joseph of Arimathæa And Nicodemus talked to Pilate asking for the body of Jesus. They desired to make sure he was properly buried. While Jesus laid in the tomb his disciples were scattered, afraid and grieving. Feeling like all hope was gone. In the times you feel that you are alone and have reached the end of your rope, just remember that Jesus is still working even in quiet times.
“for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
Matthew 12:40 KJV
Do not loose hope
“For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
Psalm 30:5 KJV
