What Changed

Easter Sunday – April 5, 2026 / Sermon by Pastor Brent Snook

Text: John 19:38–42


INTRODUCTION
• Why do people gather on Easter?
– Tradition, family, habit
– OR because Jesus died and rose again
• Many expected a King—but Jesus went to a cross
• Question: What changed?

Today’s Text: John 19:38–42

I. THE OF THESE TWO MEN (v.38)
• Joseph of Arimathea & Nicodemus
– Members of the Sanhedrin
– Wealthy, influential, seekers of truth
– Secret disciples (John 3; John 19)
• Their problem: fear
– Fear of people, position, reputation
• Application: Many hide faith in daily life
• Truth: Fear is contagious—but so is courage

II. THE OF THESE TWO MEN (v.38b)
“…besought Pilate…”

A. The of Their Change
1. Possibly the crookedness of Jesus’  
2. Possibly the crisis of Jesus’  
3. Possibly the condition surrounding Jesus’  
– Darkness (Matthew 27:45)
– Earthquake (Matthew 27:51–52)
– Veil torn (Matthew 27:51)
4. Possibly it was the cross of Jesus’  
– John 3:14–15
– “It is finished”
– “Truly this was the Son of God”

B. The of Their Change
• They went public with their faith
• Risked everything for Christ
• Gave Jesus a proper burial
• Principle: The Cross produces boldness

III. THE OF THESE TWO MEN (v.40)
A. The Suffering of the Savior Revealed
• Reality of the Cross brings conviction

B. The Sin of Self Revealed
• Our sin placed Jesus there
• Isaiah 53:5
• 1 Peter 3:18
• “The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin”  

IV. THE OF THESE TWO MEN
• Matthew 28:6 – “He is not here: for He is risen”
• The resurrection changed everything
