The Burial: That You Would Be Assured | Matthew 27:57-66

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 27:57-66.

At first glance, the last ten verses of chapter 27 might appear as “filler verses”—simply filling in some historical details and bridging two important events in Christianity: the cross and the resurrection. However, Matthew tells us something very significant about Jesus and how His burial impacts our salvation.

Big Idea: Jesus was buried to assure us of our complete salvation through His death and His resurrection.

1. Jesus’ Certain Burial Assures Us of His Humiliating Death (57-61)
2. Jesus’ Secure Tomb Assures Us of His Glorious Resurrection (62-66)
