c. Burial. “And that he was buried.” Apart from the Gospel writers, only Paul mentions Jesus’ burial. He notes that Jesus was taken down from the tree and laid in a tomb (Acts 13:29). He identifies the believer’s baptism with Christ’s burial (Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12). And in the current text he mentions interment as the consequence of death and as the harbinger of the resurrection. Jesus’ burial points “backward to the reality of the death and forward to the character of the resurrection.”11 d. Resurrection.
