Jesus, who own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree. That body and sin was laid in a borrowed tomb. It was prepared with an abundant amount of myrrh and aloes -both sweet-smelling. Dead bodies stink. Many sins have been called an "abomination" -loathsome on account of the stench. Therefore, the pleasant aroma of the myrrh and aloes was placed with anticipation of the repulsive, revolting smell of death, which is the payment of sin. However, when the disciples entered the tomb, the dead body burdened with the pungency of putrefaction was gone and only the sweet aroma remained. Amazingly, Christ still removes the stench and the aroma remains.
