I have travelled extensively and always like to visit cathedrals and churches.
These palaces of worship humble me, making me realise how many people have come and gone, praising the Lord, in these magnificent structures.
It can be very comforting.
In weaker moments, I may compare myself to the Pope or other Christian leaders and think that I am not good enough.
As these verses prove, all followers have a spiritual journey, big or small.
The men mentioned in these passages, Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, were not the strictest adherents to Jesus while he was still alive.
Other disciples and followers would seem like more likely candidates to ask for Christ’s body, but these two came to him after his death.
In trying to ensure Jesus had a proper burial, they both made themselves unclean for Passover but became converted to Christ.
Even from beyond the cross were these men so moved that they came to Jesus.
Let this be a lesson: becoming a believer is never too late.
We are all on the same spiritual journey to eternal life.
Don’t be intimidated.
Don’t despair.
Have faith that God will show you the way.
