Do you really know (or care) what Jesus did for you?
Joseph: "It's only for 3 days and 3 nights."
For He shall grow up before God as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised (savagely beaten) for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way. ~ Isaiah 53:2-6
What Will You Do?
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call. ~Acts 2:37-39
This man, Jesus, volunteered to take the penalty for our sins. Salvation is a precious gift to be accepted with gratitude.

Conversations that were left out of the Bible.
Pontius Pilate: "Joseph, I really don't understand. You're one of the richest men in Judea, and you have spent a small fortune on a burial tomb for you and your family. Why do you want to give it to this man Jesus?"
