The first Act of Faith after Jesus Death on the Cross

The first act of Faith in the new Covenant (after Jesus death on the Cross) was performed by a member of the Sanhedrin Council who had him convicted of blasphemy and handed over to Rome for execution. Joseph of Arimathea (Yosef) was not in agreement with his colleagues and was actually a follower of Jesus but feared that other members of the Council would punish him for this. However, after Jesus died on the cross, a crushing blow for those who followed Him, Yosef was the first one to step up and take action in BOLD FAITH asking the authorities for the body of Christ, expediting his burial before the Holy day of rest (Sabbath), and even giving Jesus his very own family tomb. Jesus’ followers were scattered, disappointed, scared, mourning, defeated, but one man took the first step of Faith and provided a great example for all…when it appears all hope is lost, it is an opportunity for great Faith to prevail! #itisfinished #GoodFriday
