Mark 15:43
Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.
Josepth of Aremathea in the word of God was identified as a 'man who was waiting for the Kingdom.' Thats how the Holy Spirit remembers him in the history of redemption.
Waiting means long patience. He did not see the complete fullness of the Kingdom on earth. Though undoubtedly is now in heaven. Did Jesus appear to Him in his ascension? Maybe the word is silent about this man after this act, His bold act. He will be remembered eternally as the man who gave His property (land) for the burial of Jesus.
Are we people who are waiting for the Kingdom's appearance in the world, in our lives, and finally in our death? May we be people of a long patient waiting. We will do bold things when we are waiting correctly for the correct thing.
