The death of Christ began immediately to produce fruit. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus were secret disciples of Christ for fear of the Jews. But when Christ died they publicly received the body of Christ to bury it properly. What brought them out of darkness and secrecy? The death of Christ. This is a picture how that the death of Christ saves and draws out from death and darkness all God's people. It is through the death of Christ that we are redeemed unto God.

Jesus Came to Save Sinners Nicodemus along with Peter, Thomas, Lot and other saints suffer at the hands of good intentions which miss the mark, and power of God in saving sinners. Brother Eric has taught us that "all" of God's elect in Christ are hidden disciples reserved in Christ until such time as God purposes to reveal Christ in them; translate them from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of His Dear Son. We, like Nicodemus, were dead in darkness without strength nor the will nor the eyes to see Christ the Lamb: "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus".
