## Resource

Learn of the post-death actions of several women who remained at the crucifixion site of Christ until He gave up His spirit. Learn, too, of the tender post-death acts of two very prominent religious rulers (Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, who boldly emerged from his secret discipleship). In the early morning hours of the "high day" Sabbath, the chief priests joined with the Pharisees in a further attempt to discredit and destroy the name of Jesus. He was dead, but they still were not satisfied. They were so concerned about His continuing influence, they held an illegal Sabbath meeting and decided to again solicit the help of Pontius Pilate. They wanted to make sure the Lord's followers did not turn His death into something even greater than His life had been. Ha! That was an impossible venture on their part! Find out the extent they went to make sure the tomb was sealed tight (interesting how they did that) and well-guarded - and how all their foolish efforts only backfired on them to be used as further evidence of the reality of Christ's Resurrection!
