John 19:38-39New International Version (NIV)
The Burial of Jesus
38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
Dear Father, You care. You have followers who care. It is sometimes difficult to do what is right, and it can be scary. Caring and doing what is right is good in your sight, Lord. Praise God. In Jesus’ Name I Pray, Amen.
