    The reasons for the burial of Jesus are many; here are two of the most obvious.

    Contemplating Jesus’ Burial (John 19:31-42) 1. I grew up with my parents and sister calling me Eddie.

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 12, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 540 views

    There is a resurgence of the word 'meditate' being used in churches today about personal devotional prayer as a way to draw closer to God as a person contemplates His divine attributes.

    There is a lot of teaching about WHY Christ died in the Scripture. There is a fair amount of teaching about the Resurrection. But the burial of Christ occupies a lesser role. Even so, keep in mind that it is one third of the Gospel. Although the Bible
