HE CAME TO FULFILL - BURIAL, RESURRECTION, AND ASCENSION: NO DECAY

Messiah’s body will not be left to see decay and corruption. It shall rise from the dead after three days and nights. 

Yeshua’s body was not left to decay. His followers gently prepared His body for burial as described in Acts 13: 33-35 (NIV). 

Preparing dead bodies for resurrection is an ancient practice that the Israelites practiced. It is not that they prayed for the dead. They simply prepared the body so that when it would rise from the dead, it would be clean and the person ready to go about their day. 

They prepared Yeshua’s body and, in doing so, showed their trust in the resurrection that followed. They believed He would be resurrected, and in the future, we shall receive the same. Resurrected, we will be back from the dead. Beauty we shall receive for ashes.
