Deep dives

Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus prepare Jesus' body for burial

In John chapter 19 verses 38 through 42, Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus take Jesus' body down from the cross and prepare it for burial. Joseph, possibly a member of the Jewish council, had been a secret disciple of Jesus for fear of the Jews. However, he publicly aligns himself with Jesus by requesting Pilate's permission and taking Jesus' body for burial. Nicodemus, who had a previous conversation with Jesus, also joins Joseph in this task. Both men risk their social status and positions by publicly aligning themselves with Jesus, highlighting the cost of discipleship. Their actions demonstrate that allegiance to Jesus is worth any cost, as it is an eternal decision.

📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

JOHN 19:38-42 - After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. 39 Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds in weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
