What type of circumstances are there today that might lead one to be a disciple of Jesus, but in secret, like Joseph of Arimathea?
When the government of a nation murder a priest or a pastor who denounces the wrong doing of the nation i will be secretly ask for help to dispose the remains of the pastor/priest. I may bury the dead during the failure of the family to raise burial money.

The extremist Islamics have made ours a very frightening world to live in for many people. These groups are gaining numbers by domination and intimidation and by brainwashing their young. I can easily believe Christians may have to go underground to spread God`s true Word because they consider us infidels and will kill us in the name of their god.

The Burial of Jesus

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus' body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body. Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. So they took Jesus' body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid. Then because of the Jews' Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there.
