Mark 15:42-47
It was Preparation Day, the day before the Sabbath. Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. Pilot was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock, Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
Death by crucifixion was long drawn out. It often took two days or more, But by 'three in the afternoon' Jesus is dead. Joseph, a member of the Sanhedrin Council and a disciple of Jesus saves him from the final indignity(侮辱) of a mass grave.
Why?
No one dear come to Pilot to ask the body of Jesus, but Joseph who did and saved Jesus from final indignity of a mass grave.
Joseph is disciple of Jesus and who has high position. Joseph hidden his identity before but now he show his faith.
How?
Show our faith and our action to love Jesus, no matter how we were before. When my heart and mind is turn to the Lord, we can do it!
