JOHN 19:38-42

What were they thinking? Hiding there faith in Jesus for so many months... afraid of the fall out if certain people found out they were "closet" disciples. Now in this public act they risked everything. Watch them do what is necessary...what they know was their role to play. Joseph goes to Pilate and asks for the body. Nicodemus not only followed Joseph, he also brought what was necessary for burial, 75 pounds of myrrh and aloes, along with the strips of linen. While most of the "friends" of Jesus were in hiding, these two men stepped up to care for the body of Jesus.
