#40 BURIED

40 DAYS WITH JESUS

#40  BURIED -  "But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.  But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.  He who saw it has borne witness - his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth - that you also may believe."  John 19:33-35   "And when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.  This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.  Then Pilate ordered it to be given over to him.  And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away."  Matthew 27:57-60   

Definition of BURIED

: to put a dead person in a grave

Jesus, You were BURIED.  You died and were buried in the tomb which was owned by Joseph of Arimathea.  Each account of Your death goes into detail regarding Your actual death and BURIAL.  The flow of blood and water indicates that You truly died as a fully human being with a genuine human body.  You were LAID IN A TOMB and a LARGE STONE was rolled against the entrance.  Why do they go into so much detail about this?  Because they wanted to prove that You were really dead and were really placed in the tomb!  There were witnesses who saw You die and who saw You being placed in the tomb!  Even though You had told them OVER AND OVER what was going  to happen on the first day of the week - NO ONE WAS EXPECTING what was going to happen next!!! Jesus, YOU CHANGE EVERYTHING!!!!

(Is your HEART PREPARED for what will happen NEXT?? Worship Him, praise Him and thank Him for being BURIED - for you and for me!!!)#40dayswithjesus
