Courage

Today’s Scripture: Luke 23:50
50-51There was a man named Joseph from Arimathea, a town in Judea. He was a good and honorable man, who was waiting for the coming of the Kingdom of God. Although he was a member of the Council, he had not agreed with their decision and action. 52He went into the presence of Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53Then he took the body down, wrapped it in a linen sheet, and placed it in a tomb which had been dug out of solid rock and which had never been used. 54It was Friday, and the Sabbath was about to begin. 55The women who had followed Jesus from Galilee went with Joseph and saw the tomb and how Jesus' body was placed in it. 56Then they went back home and prepared the spices and perfumes for the body. On the Sabbath they rested, as the Law commanded.
It must have took a lot of courage for Joseph to go and ask for Jesus's body, but Joseph loved the Lord and God gave him the courage to do what he knew was right.
