It’s when you will have an idea about how big His love is. It’s in the darkest and most heartbreaking moments in your life that Jesus’ sacrifice becomes more…

John 19:38, NIV
Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. John 19:38, NIV Joseph went out of His way to get the body of Jesus.

Day 482 – John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.
