The Burial of Jesus

The Burial of Jesus
Matthew 27.57-66

I was never much good at chess, but I have from time to time played against some reasonably good players and I remember what it felt like. There was always a point, usually quite early on, when I simply wouldn’t understand what they were doing. They would move a rook here, a knight there, move the queen somewhere else, and all without apparent connection or plan. Then, a few moves later, when I thought I was about to do something really clever, one of the pieces that had innocently been moved earlier on was there, blocking my way. The mark of a good player is to anticipate the moves the opponent is going to make, and to block them before they can happen...
