What do you do when hope looks dead and you can’t see what God is doing?
In Mark 15, Jesus has died, and His followers have every reason to think it is over. But Joseph of Arimathea steps forward. He boldly asks Pilate for Jesus’ body and gives Him an honorable burial. Even when things looked hopeless, Joseph chose to honor Jesus.
His actions remind us that faith is not just for the good times. We need to stay close to God when we are disappointed, stand up for Jesus when it is difficult, and honor Him even when it costs us something.
We may not always see what God is doing, but that does not mean He has stopped working. When hope looks dead, we can still trust Him, live boldly, and keep following Jesus.
