Jesus is Burried

Niccodemus looks down at the one who taught him by night because he was too fearful to come to Jesus by day. Joseph of Arimathea glances back for the last time at the body that is layed in his own family's tomb. These are the looks that one has when finally leaving the funeral. "This is the last time." Despite the promise Jesus made, nobody believed it. All of their hopes are now gone.

Yet we can see just above Joseph to his right, a faint warm light glows, touches his cloak, brushes against the hands of Niccodemus and comes to rest on the enshrouded face of Jesus. Hope is often faint, but it is there.

We are asked to contemplate "Do we truly trust all that Jesus has said and claimed? If we truly trust, how does that change the way we live?"

he spoke and who i was
never came back
what do those words mean now?
that the world is loved
so much
by God
that he would be given?

the dream is dead

and the world's wind
heaves with ashes"
