«So he came and took the body of Jesus.» John 19:38
Jesus came to the world to teach good to all people, but many didn’t accept Him. They cursed at Jesus, laughed at Him, spat at Him and beat Him until He bled. Then they put a crown of thorns on Him and nailed Him to a cross.
For some time, Jesus hung there. The wounds from the nails in His hands and feet hurt too much! The beatings He had received all over His body also hurt. Jesus could hardly breathe. Then, He took His last breath and died.
There were two good men, Joseph and Nicodemus, who loved Him. They asked permission to take the body of Jesus down from the cross to bury Him. Nicodemus bought perfumes, then they wrapped Jesus in perfumed sheets and laid Him in a new tomb.
Although many hated Jesus, there were some who loved Him!
Let’s practice!
Do you love Jesus? Say: “I love Jesus. And I always want to walk with Him.”
