During the lifetime of Jesus, he faced a lot of conflict with the religious leaders, including the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Sanhedrin. There was so much peer pressure, if you aligned with Jesus, you were kicked out of the religious community! In that charged environment, we find two secret disciples of Jesus in high places: Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. These two men decide to boldly align with Jesus after his crucifixion by burying him like the king that he is. In this sermon, Pastor Will talks about these two men and how we can stand for Jesus like they did.
