Did Jesus Need a Tomb?

Does Jesus' death put an end to his illustrious projections- Many people think so. How can his promises come to anything if he dies in the end- Ironically, all who were mocking Jesus while he was dying were actually witnessing Jesus saving. The Old Testament explains how. Jesus had stood against the agenda of the Jewish leaders. Among them was a a secret disciple, Joseph of Arimathea, who comes out after Jesus' death. He acquires Jesus' body from Pilate and places it in his own new tomb. He was so sure of Jesus' illustrious future, in spite of his death, that he does this as an act of worship. The Old Testament foretells Joseph's surprise coming to do this. The tomb was necessary to prove his death and resurrection-as opposed to his body being thrown into a field or being left of the cross, as was the Roman norm. His death was obvious. His death makes his resurrection a thrilling truth.
