This sermon reflects on the burial of Jesus Christ as recorded in Mark 15:40–47, underscoring that Jesus truly died and was not merely unconscious. It highlights the devotion of the women who witnessed the crucifixion and burial, Joseph of Arimathea’s courageous request for Jesus’ body, and the careful steps taken in the burial itself. Pastor Jim presents five key pieces of evidence for Jesus’ actual death: the witnesses at Golgotha who saw Him die, the Roman centurion’s official confirmation, Joseph’s preparation of His lifeless body with costly linen, the placement of the heavy stone sealing the tomb, and the reliable witnesses who observed the entire process. The sermon ultimately challenges believers to show similar courage in publicly declaring their faith, just as Joseph overcame his fear of the Sanhedrin to honor Jesus in death.
