Lent - Day 40: The Sabbath

The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee

followed Joseph and saw the tomb,

and how His body was laid in it.

Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes.

But they rested on the Sabbath

in obedience to the commandment.

-Luke 23:55-56

With Pilate’s permission, Nicodemus placed Jesus’ body in the tomb before 6:00pm on Friday evening, when the Sabbath began.  There He lay during the Sabbath hours,, guarded by soldiers and angels, awaiting the call of His Father.
