There is a song, "Thank you for the cross." It is an expression of gratitude for the reality of Jesus' sacrifice for our sins. I love that song. I love the sentiment it carries for all of us who have believed. We should be overflowing with gratitude today. Our sins have been paid in full by Jesus.
Yet even on day one Jesus had "secret disciples". Joseph of Arimathea is mentioned in this chapter. It says of him, "he was a disciple of Jesus - but secretly because of his fear of the Jews." Unfortunately "secret disciples" still exist today.
Jesus lived for our righteousness, died for our sins and was resurrected to conquer death and solidify our eternity! This should not be a secret. We should work to tell the world!
