Luke 23:52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
Why on earth would you go to the governing people and ask for a dead person’s body?
Well Joseph was a man who was probably well known in the Jewish circles because he was fairly rich, was a member of the council and already had his own tomb bought and paid for.
His plan was to give what he had to Jesus to show his support and love for God. He was doing this in spite of the fact he was probably going to be mocked for doing that.
How far are you willing to go to show your love and support for Christ nowadays?
