I am trying to imagine what it was like for Joseph of Arimathea to hold Your dead Body. What did he think as he looked at Your lifeless Form? What did it feel like to carry You? Surely Your Blood must have soiled his clothes and body as he moved You to his tomb; Your holy, perfect, spilt Blood. Did he sense the power of the Blood as he held You?

Unbelievable privilege; man holding the dead Body of the Son of God. Perhaps each one of us needs to “hold Your dead Body” before we are able to truly grasp the depth of Your Sacrifice and the miracle of Your Resurrection.
