Love For Jesus' Body
Matt 27:57 57 Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. 58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him. 59 When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed. 61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
The love of Jesus is the greatest measure of our Christianity. How we love Christ' body is just as important or more so to Him. All four gospels record the love and respect for Jesus' literal body after His death. I mean, think about the respect and honor this was to handle Jesus' lifeless body in love, cleaning Him up somewhat, wrapping Him in this shroud, giving Him a proper burial. Then there was the fact that this was during Holy days and touching blood or the dead would make you unclean.
Nobody touching Jesus was unclean that day but they were the cleanest they could ever be.
Do we, as the church, the body of Christ, love the spiritual body of Christ this much? Do we go out of our way, even if it inconveniences us, to respect Christ' church? Do we seek to help clean her wounds and give her honor? We prove this when we love His body, the church. Love the unlovable, because they belong to Jesus.
