Following Jesus Fully Devoted

In this episode, Alex walks through Matthew 27:57-61 and shows us three pictures of devotion from one of the most overlooked passages in the crucifixion story. Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and the two Marys weren’t doing anything spectacular. They were just doing what was right in front of them — and God was working through all of it in ways they couldn’t see.

If you’ve ever felt like your faithfulness doesn’t matter because it’s not big or bold or public, this one is for you.

In this episode:

* Why Joseph risked everything to ask Pilate for Jesus’s body

* What the myrrh reveals about following Jesus in the mundane

* Why sitting outside a tomb is one of the most powerful acts of devotion in Scripture

* How to follow Jesus even when you can’t see where He’s leading

📖 Passage: Matthew 27:57–61 (ESV)
