Man who assumed responsibility for the burial of Jesus after his crucifixion

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Bill Rowekamp from Winona, MN. Thank you for your generosity and partnership in Project 23. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 15:42–47: And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died. And summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph. And Joseph bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid. — Mark 15:42–47 As the sun set on Preparation Day, most hurried home to observe the Sabbath. But Joseph of Arimathea paused. A respected council member and secret follower of Jesus, he summoned the courage to approach Pilate. He simply asked: “May I have the body of Jesus?” Pilate, surprised that Jesus was already dead, confirmed with the centurion before granting the request. Joseph then wrapped Jesus' body in fine linen and laid him in his own new tomb, carved from solid rock. Two women, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses, watched quietly, memorizing each detail. Grief often hides in the shadows of ordinary life. Yet Joseph's example reminds us that faith sometimes calls us out of our comfort zones. He treated Jesus' body with dignity, even when others averted their eyes. In moments of loss—whether a friend's pain, a broken dream, or personal suffering—we can step forward with acts of compassion. Here are three things everyone can do: Offer a listening ear. Bring a meal or a kind note. Sit in silence and presence. These small gestures honor the heartache of others and point them to hope beyond sorrow. I have watched these seemingly insignificant actions bear much fruit. So do not hesitate to make a simple, bold move today. #BurialOfHonor, #Mark15, #CompassionInAction ASK THIS: What might have kept Joseph from going to Pilate—and what gave him courage? How does honoring Jesus in death shape our view of His sacrifice? Who in your life needs your presence most right now? What simple act of compassion can you offer this week? DO THIS: Think of someone in your life who's grieving or struggling. Reach out today—send a text, make a call, or drop off a small gift—and simply say, “I'm here with you.” PRAY THIS: Jesus, thank you for your tender care even in death. Give me courage to step into others' pain and offer compassion that points them back to You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "In Christ Alone (My Hope Is Found)."

Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, who had not consented to their decision and action; and he was looking for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid. It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning. (Luke 23:50-54) In the aftermath of an unjust crucifixion, we are introduced to a man of quiet courage – Joseph of Arimathea. As a member of the Jewish council, Joseph was wealthy, respected, and held a prestigious position. Yet when the Sanhedrin demanded Jesus' death, Joseph “had not consented to their decision and action.” While others went along with the crowd, Joseph stood apart. While Pilate gave in to pressure, Joseph held to conviction. And while others sought to protect their status, Joseph looked for the kingdom of God. This is no small thing. In touching the dead body of Jesus to prepare it for burial, Joseph defiled himself according to ceremonial law, forfeiting his ability to participate in the Sabbath preparations. He willingly traded religious cleanliness and social standing to honor his crucified Lord. This kind of faith is costly. It is the kind of devotion that refuses to blend in with the culture for the sake of comfort or appearance. Joseph risked his reputation, his religious privilege, and likely his relationships within the council, all to identify with Jesus in His death. This calls us to question how we pursue Jesus. Ask yourself this question – do I pursue Jesus with such fervor and resolution? Counted As Loss In Philippians 3:7–8, Paul echoes this kind of faith: “But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.” Joseph of Arimathea, like Paul, shows us what it means to live with eternity in view. He wasn't driven by fear or popularity, he was driven by a longing for God's kingdom. He wasn't trying to preserve his life, but to honor the One who had just laid His down. Today, the pressure to conform to worldly values is just as real. Many remain silent rather than speak the truth of Christ. Some fear being labeled as intolerant, fanatical, or foolish. But true discipleship means dying to the approval of man in order to live fully for God. Let's ask ourselves these questions: Am I willing to be labeled badly by culture to honor Jesus? Do I forsake earthly titles and inclusion to stand with Christ? Am I looking for the kingdom of God, even if it costs me my status, comfort, or security? Joseph may have buried Jesus in a tomb, but his actions proclaimed a living faith. In a moment of greatest loss, he revealed the greatest gain – a heart set on God's kingdom. May we all have the courage of Jospeh of Arimathea – standing firm when others cave, seeking the kingdom of God above all else, and counting all as loss to unashamedly identify with Christ.
The Jesus bloodline refers to the proposition that a lineal sequence of the historical Jesus has persisted, possibly to the present time. Although absent from the Gospels or historical records, the concept of Jesus having descendants has gained a presence in the public imagination, as seen with Holy Blood, Holy Grail a book by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln and Dan Brown's 2003 best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code. These claimed Jesus's bloodlines are distinct from the biblical genealogy of Jesus, which concerns the ancestors of Jesus, and from the alleged Brothers of Jesus and other kin of Jesus, known as the Desposyni. Joel dives even deeper into the supposed hidden bloodlines of Jesus with a look at who Joseph of Arimathea was historically. He sets his focus on the gnostic Essene version of Joseph and the idea he was actually James the Just, brother of Jesus. He then looks at the Tribe of Scota and how it spawned from ancient Egypt into Ireland and Scottland from Israeli descent and possibly intermingling with the Tuatha De Danann. Lastly, Joel walks through the Fisher Kings, the Merovingians, whose rise to the top was swift and seemingly out of nowhere, but how it makes sense considering the represented the most secretive bloodline in the history of the earth.

Joseph of Arimathea is often remembered for giving his tomb to Jesus, but his faith, courage, and generosity also offer valuable lessons about wealth and stewardship. In this episode, Jonathan sits down with Dan Catone, founder of Arimathea Investing, to discuss how Catholics can align their investments with their faith.Dan shares how Catholic investing goes beyond avoiding evil—it actively seeks to support businesses that promote human dignity while using shareholder influence to encourage ethical business practices. He and Jonathan also discuss how fear and greed dominate secular investing, and how Catholics are called instead to courage, prudence, and generosity in managing their finances.Mentioned in this episode:➡️ Join us for the Lenten Money Reset!

David Gilliland preaches on the life and service of Joseph of Arimathea, who was an “honourable counsellor” and who lent his own new tomb to the Lord Jesus for 3 days. Reading: Matt 27:57-61, Mark 15:42-47, Luke 23:50-54, John 19:38-42. (Recorded in Northern Ireland) Complete series on “Honourable Men in Scripture”: Jabez – The Honourable Supplicant Mordecai – The Honourable Statesman Samuel – The Honourable Seer Joseph of Arimathea – The Honourable Senator Epaphroditus – The Honourable Servant The post Joseph of Arimathea – The Honourable Senator (55 min) first appeared on Gospel Hall Audio.
Joseph of Arimathea was a Christian man who financed the Gospel message. In this power-packed message, Ps. Diego encourages us to step into our God-given calling to give.
Beloved in Christ,My name is Joseph, once known by my hometown, Arimathea, a place of modest fame, but my story has found its way into the heart of the greatest narrative ever told. In the twilight of our Lord's earthly journey, I emerged from the shadows, a secret disciple, to perform an act of love and dignity. As we draw near to the remembrance of that fateful sixth day of Holy Week, I feel compelled to share with you the reflections and lessons born from those sacred, sorrowful moments.In the hustle of Jerusalem, amidst the fervor of Passover, the air was thick with anticipation and dread. The city, swollen with pilgrims, was oblivious to the divine drama unfolding within its walls. I, too, was swept up in the ritual and tradition, until the events of that week shattered my complacency and propelled me into the heart of our faith's mystery.The crucifixion of Jesus, an event of unspeakable horror, was also a moment of profound revelation. It was the culmination of God's love story with humanity, a narrative I had followed from the periphery, my faith hidden like a flickering candle under the oppressive shadows of fear and societal expectation. Yet, as darkness fell upon the land and the earth shook with grief, something within me was irrevocably changed.Approaching Pilate to request the body of Jesus was an act of desperate courage, fueled not by a sudden resolve but by a love and devotion that had simmered quietly in my heart. The Gospel narratives might tell you of my wealth and standing, but in that moment, I was but a humble servant of the slain Messiah, seeking to offer the last rites of love and respect (Matthew 27:57-60; Mark 15:43-46; Luke 23:50-53; John 19:38-42).The task was heart-wrenching. With each step towards Golgotha, each motion to remove His sacred body from the cross, I felt the weight of centuries of prophecy and promise resting upon my shoulders. Alongside Nicodemus, another secret follower who emerged in the hour of need, we wrapped His body in linen, anointing Him with spices, a king laid to rest not in a palace but in a new tomb, hewn from rock, in a garden where hope seemed lost.This act, done in haste before the setting sun marked the Sabbath's start, was more than a mere fulfillment of burial customs. It was a declaration of faith, an acknowledgment that Jesus was indeed the promised Messiah, despite the seeming finality of death. My new tomb, intended for my own earthly remains, became instead the site of the greatest miracle—our Lord's resurrection.As you reflect upon the sixth day of Holy Week, I urge you not to dwell solely on the sorrow and the suffering but to look beyond, to the hope that dawned with the first light of Easter. My story, a mere footnote in the grand narrative of redemption, serves as a reminder that faith often calls us to act in defiance of fear, to step forward when all seems lost, and to lay our deepest affections and resources at the feet of Jesus.In this sacred season, may you find the courage to live your faith boldly, to serve the Lord with all that you are and have, and to bear witness to the light that shines in the darkness, a light that darkness has not, and will never, overcome. Remember, it is often in the quiet acts of devotion, in the secret places of the heart, that our true allegiance is revealed and our deepest transformation begins.May the peace of Christ, who triumphed over death and the grave, be with you always, guiding you from darkness into His marvelous light.In the love that conquers death,Joseph of Arimathea Get full access to My Reasons To Believe at myr2b.substack.com/subscribe
