STATION 14:
JESUS IS B...URIED - FINALITY
Having bought a linen cloth, he took him down, wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that had been hewn out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb. ~ Mark 15:46
Jesus asks: “How do you respond as the stone seals shut my tomb?”
Burial brings with it a finality that even death does not. Death is a moment, a passage. Sealing the tomb, filling in the grave, burying the ashes solidify the finality of death. We will not meet again in this life.

Why did Walter write his own obituary? What was he trying to accomplish?
If you could leave your loved ones with any last thoughts before your death, what would they be? Why not say those things while you still can?
