The burial of Jesus is more than a simple event in history. It holds deep meaning for Christians. In John 19:40, we read how Jesus’ body was wrapped in linen and spices, following Jewish burial customs. This confirms that Jesus died. His death was final, and the grave made that clear.
His burial also fulfilled ancient prophecies. Isaiah spoke of the Messiah resting in a rich man’s tomb, and Jesus himself said he would be in the earth for three days, just as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish. These moments were not accidents, but part of God’s plan.
Perhaps most importantly, the grave represents hope. Jesus did not remain in the tomb, and for those who belong to him, death is not the end either. The promise is sure. The grave could not hold Christ, and it will not hold his followers.
For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,
