His burial is yours.

In the natural realm death leads to burial. When someone dies the body is released to the ground. We know that the cycle of life finds its destiny in death. But in the spiritual realm it is not that way.

In the realm of Gods economy, burial can precede death. First our life becomes buried in Christ, then we are baptized into His death. The great paradox is that in becoming unified with Christ, death becomes our reality but not our destiny. Burial in Christ becomes life in Christ.

In the case of our Lord the natural and the supernatural intersect in a glorious display of love at the cross. The humanity of Christ was put to death and his body lay buried on the Sabbath. But death could not reign for Easter Sunday will come in the morning and our savior lives.
