| When once the work of redemption was complete, God did not allow wicked hands to touch the body of His Son again. He provided true believers—Joseph and Nicodemus, to bury the Lord Jesus. More than this, they were rich men, and Joseph had a new tomb, hewn out of the rock, ready no doubt for his own burial. But he willingly gave that tomb for the Lord Jesus. Also, they buried Him with one hundred pounds of spices—a tremendous amount, and very costly too. God saw to it that His Son was given a rich man’s burial, because of who He was. No doubt Pilate and others would have buried the Lord Jesus in a common criminals’ grave, but God had said otherwise in Isaiah, hundreds of years before. God’s prophecies are always fulfilled! |
