The Significance of Christ's Burial (2 of 4)
Chris Walls
John 19:31-41
Introduction
We looked last week at the crucifixion of Christ on the cross. We dealt with the idea that He was the Godman who was perfect in every way, the perfect lamb without spot or blemish. We talked about how he was our substitute. He took our place on the cross. His shed blood covers our sin.

People prepare for different things in different ways. Some people prepare for death by buying prepaid burial insurance. What did Jesus do to get ready for His burial? Lot's of things. He told His disciples that He was going to die. He tried to prepare them to be His witnesses here on earth.
But, as we look at the passages, it seems like the people closest to Jesus, who he had told he was going to die were not ready for His death. It took two men who came to Jesus privately at different times to bury Christ. Now I am sure there were good reasons. The disciples were probably scared for their own lives because if the Romans were going to crucify Jesus, they might kill His disciples as ...
