April 3
Introduction
Joseph of Arimathea approaches Pilate and asks to remove the body of Jesus from the cross. He arranges to have Jesus buried in a tomb. Two women watch and see where Jesus’s body is placed.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Mark 15:42-47
Today’s Key Verse: Mark 15:43b (GNT)
Joseph went boldly into the presence of Pilate and asked him for the body of Jesus.
Reflect
Today’s reading tells us that Joseph of Arimathea was “a respected member of the Council.” Do you think he was present at Jesus’s trial? Why do you think he took responsibility for Jesus’s burial? He is described as one “who was waiting for the coming of the Kingdom of God.” What is your understanding of the Kingdom of God?
Pray
Your kingdom come, O Lord. I love you, Lord Jesus, and promise to serve you always. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those making funeral arrangements for a loved one
Tomorrow’s Reading
Mark 16:1-20: Jesus is raised to life.
Scripture
