Borrowed for a short time and returned.

 

 

What a thought, a borrowed tomb, why buy something you are only going to use for a few days?

 

This is exactly what Jesus did. The Word of God tells us that Joseph gave up his very own tomb, a NEW Tomb mind you, for the body of Jesus to be laid in, but this would only be a temporary stay.

 

Mat 27:58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

Mat 27:59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

Mat 27:60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.

Three days in the tomb and our LORD is risen to life again, this makes me so thankful for what I call " Resurrection Sunday, " a day to remember how Jesus was returned from the grave and one day to return again for his Bride.

 

My prayer is that this day will be a reminder to you as the old song says;

" Up From The Grave He Arose ".
