*DAILY DEW 25/FEBRUARY/2025* *DO IT AFRAID!* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus."* (John 19: 38 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Joseph of Arimathaea's actions demonstrate a remarkable display of courage and devotion to Jesus. Despite being a secret disciple, Joseph risked his reputation and safety by openly asking Pilate for Jesus' body. This bold move highlights the transformative power of Jesus' teachings and the loyalty they inspired in His followers. Joseph's bravery serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Jesus' message. This verse also underscores the theme of redemption and restoration. By taking Jesus' body and preparing it for burial, Joseph ensured that Jesus received a dignified and respectful treatment, even in death. This act of kindness and compassion foreshadows the ultimate redemption and restoration that Jesus would accomplish through His resurrection. The lesson from this verse is that faithfulness and loyalty to Jesus often require courage and risk-taking. Joseph's example encourages us to be bold in our witness and to stand up for what we believe in, even if it means facing opposition or ridicule. As followers of Jesus, we are called to demonstrate our devotion to Him through tangible acts of love and service, just as Joseph did. _MEDITATION:_ *Being bold sometimes means ignoring the fear screaming in your head* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
