Matthew 27:57-60
When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus 'disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
Think of Joseph... His family tomb that he paid for and labored for was given to Jesus. Many people would say that he already knew Jesus only needed to borrow it, but I'm not sure that is the case. Even the disciples who walked with Jesus and saw the many miracles he did were in shock and disbelief of what had happened. Jesus plainly told them what would take place and they were blinded to the whole scene. So I don't believe Joseph gave his tomb for the body of Jesus with the intentions of getting it back.
I was thinking of how the tomb could have been given back because Jesus didn't need it long, only to borrow it. Then God showed me that Adam lost dominion in the garden of Eden and all of creation was in bondage to sin and death, even blinded by darkness... But Jesus, on the cross, gave it back through his blood. Then out of the tomb, he gave it back through his resurrection.
On the cross he gave His blood and life...and gave back our freedom from the penalty of sin, which is death.
Out of the tomb he came arose victorious...and gave back our lives through his resurrection.
Whatever you've lost...in marriage, to addictions, to the enemy, in your life... God, through His Son Jesus, can give it back. Don't allow satan to continue and blind you from the greatest truth ever. That God desires to save you. That God desires to restore you. That God desires to give it back.
