The Burial of Jesus

Jesus will find a way. It is written. Jesus Messiah!

The Burial of Jesus

Luke 23:50-56
50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, 51 who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God. 52 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. 53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. 54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.

Here you see even the most beloved of Jesus fall back into the law. They were burying their Lord in the tomb, yet they had to stop to observe the law of the Sabbath? Hadn’t Jesus just spent His life etching is that it was not necessary? Didn’t He Himself tell is that we should not concern ourselves with this world?

Jesus was now in the waiting phase either allow of us. Waiting for the Resurrection. As we wait, let us not grow weary. Trust in the Lord, for it is by His grace that we live this day. Live with salvation and sovereignty from sin.

Amen.
