Joseph of Arimathea was considered by many scholars to be a secret Christian. Joseph was a part of the Sanhedrin, which was a very strict Jewish religious organization. If they found out that Joseph was a Christian he would have been kicked out and maybe even killed. Joseph had to use wisdom as to who he would share this with and when he would share Christ. Chances are your don’t live in an area where you will be persecuted and killed for Jesus so are you preaching Christ in your sphere of influence?
