Almost Easter...Day 217 (John 19)..."Nicodemus In Between Crucifixion and Resurrection"

How appropriate that Nicodemus helps prepare Jesus' body for burial. This "in between" time of Good Friday and Easter is something to ponder. In my mind, Nicodemus (who came at night) eventually experienced a full conversion. His presence at the burial scene reminds us that gradual conversion is just as legitimate as instant conversion. How I would like to ask Nicodemus to share how one afraid to be seen with Jesus earlier would be so visible at burial. Would this not also speak to a genuine conversion, as Nicodemus stayed whiled the disciples strayed.

May God bless you on this Easter Eve! We are almost ready to proclaim the victory!
