Thank you, Joseph

Then Joseph took the body of Jesus down,
wrapped it in linen,
and laid it in a tomb. (Luke 23:53)

What a beautiful thing to do
and how tenderly he must
have done it.
Did Joseph realize
this was the body of his
creator and Savior?

I am sure it wasn't the puny body
that most artists portray.
For this Man had walked miles.
And with cords in His hands,
He alone drove the crowd
out of the temple.
