Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take down Jesus’ body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and took the body away. With him came Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night. He brought about seventy-five pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes. 

John 19:38-39

• Disciple: a learner; a disciple, a follower of Christ who learns the doctrines of Scripture and the lifestyle they require
• Secret: to conceal (that it may not become known

Am I a follower who: 

• Conceals my learning and lifestyle of the doctrines of Scriptures?
• Reveals my learning and lifestyle of doctrines of the Scriptures?

In what ways do I 

• Conceal my relationship with Christ?
• Reveal my relationship with Christ?

With him came Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night. He brought about seventy-five pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes.
John 19:39

“The enormous quantity has been accounted for as a rich man’s expression of devotion, or as required if the entire body and all the wrappings were to be smeared with it.” - Marcus Dods

“The quantity of one hundred Roman pounds (75 lbs. avdp.) revealed both Nicodemus’s wealth and appreciation of Jesus.” - Merrill Tenney

Live a life that reveals to everyone that I am a follower of Christ.
