Why were fulfillment of prophecies important? "note: Jesus predicted his death and resurrection? "...saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again...". There are also many accounts in the old testament describing the death and resurrection of the Messiah hundreds to thousands of years before the event.

Every step is taken after the step taken on the basis of the promise of taken that rightful step. Each turnin your eyes fixed on God like Moses on the pillar of fire, you renew the promise and evry time you are shown the next step. Do you keep the promise and renew the Alliance or do you take another direction? The promises regarding the promised Messiah were treasured in the communal memory of the people who were to think of the sacrifial lamb and the Sacrificial Lamb...annointong the disciples he would have left them.As others the prophets had preceded him. It was the thread of the past and future history of salvation and deliverance.

How does The tender/respectful care of Jesus`s body given by Joseph of Arimathaea make you feel?

Moving...makes you think of Joseph tha adoptive earthly father and now that we approach the nativity of Jesus, you cannot help thinking of newly become father Joseph wrapping up the shivering littel body and holding Mary and child in a tight warm embrace. His beard must have tickled baby Jesus face...now probably this other elderly bearded Joseph ...no motions from that dead body tended too with equal love. Hands taking care of a baby and of adult Jesus..son of a crapenter....make you think of the uknown carpenter who crafted that cross on which Jesus dies. And of the wooden manger in which he was laid to rest with utter love.

When Jesus "breathed his last" and was pronounced dead; why did The Roman centurion glorify god?

The gates of heaven open - a wondrous physical sight - and Jesus speaks out with utmost trust when any other man would have certainly despaired and doubted: why so much relief if not sure of the Father awaiting him?The centurion witnessed all Jesus suffering drop by drop. Romans centurions were known for their steadfast faithfulness and were soldiers ready to fight for what they believed for ther general. On this they valued a man. Here something all the more extraordinary occurs.I seem to remember that the roman pagan gods were percieved as distant and indifferent on the Olympus of their perfect joy. Here what an act of loyal filial commitment...Somebody disclosed the gates and listened.
