It's a great comfort for me, Lord Jesus, that Your body has also been in a grave. You allowed them to carry You away and lay You down, lifeless and cold. They closed Your grave and left You in the dark and cold. You went there, too, and You prevailed. The land on the other side You trampled with Your feet. Now I don't have to go down that path. I pray to You for the great comfort in life and death that You alone can give me. Let me be with You every day of my life until the Last Day, and after that, forever in Your kingdom. Amen.
