What qualified Joseph of Arimathea for the wonderful opportunity and privilege of burying the Creator of the universe, the Lord Jesus Christ? Joseph was a man of character, Christian courage and deep and profound commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ. To get opportunities to do something significant for God, you need to be a Christian of character, courage and commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are, wherever there is something for you to do, God can be sure that you are there and able to do it.
