Courage sometimes means stepping forward when everyone else steps back. Joseph of Arimathea, a secret follower, summoned the nerve to ask Pilate for Jesus’ body. He wrapped the Saviour in linen and laid Him in a tomb carved from rock.

From Mark 15:42–47 and 1 Corinthians 15:3–5, Pastor Chuck Swindoll explains the significance of Christ’s burial as an essential element of the gospel. Jesus was buried, fulfilling Scripture and setting the stage for the greatest event in human history.

Stand for Christ with Joseph’s kind of courage, even when it costs you. And find comfort in knowing the story does not end in a tomb!

Mark 15:42–47; 1 Corinthians 15:3–5
