John 19:38-42
Yea, though I walk through the VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, thou art with me…….
Enter the tomb. There you will see images of death, destruction and suffering. Remember that Jesus is with us even unto death….

The Tomb
After all this, Joseph of Arimathea (he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, because he was intimidated by the Jews) petitioned Pilate to take the body of Jesus. Pilate gave permission. So Joseph came and took the body. Nicodemus, who had first come to Jesus at night, came now in broad daylight carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. They took Jesus' body and, following the Jewish burial custom, wrapped it in linen with the spices. There was a garden near the place he was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been placed. So, because it was Sabbath preparation for the Jews and the tomb was convenient, they placed Jesus in it.

Not in vain – everyday – let it be not in vain in my life
How could one sit in this tomb and not be moved? We should take a moment each day and thank God for our many blessings!
From the many moving images on this video the one that etches my soul is “for the love of the lamb.” We know what Jesus did for us – what will we do “for the love of the lamb”?
