Life, The Fruit Of His Death

The death of Christ began immediately to produce fruit. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus were secret disciples of Christ for fear of the Jews. But when Christ died they publicly received the body of Christ to bury it properly. What brought them out of darkness and secrecy? The death of Christ. This is a picture how that the death of Christ saves and draws out from death and darkness all God's people. It is through the death of Christ that we are redeemed unto God.
