DISCIPLE OF JESUS. (John 19:38)
EXPOSED HIMSELF BY ASKING THE BODY OF JESUS.

MARK 15:46
EVEN VIOLATING THE SABBATH – GOING TO PILATE & HANDLING A DEAD BODY.

“What a funeral. No hymns sung. No prayer prayed. No sermon preached, but lovingly and generously buried by two men”

Joseph of Arimathea & Nicodemus

Jesus Christ took the pain that should have been ours.
Every wound on His back tells a story of love.
Every stripe speaks of mercy.
Every drop of blood declares grace.
Jesus endured the punishment we deserved so that we could receive the healing we never earned.

REFLECTION:

AS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS, WHAT YOU HAVE SACRIFICED?
