So he came and took away His body. Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight." (John 19:38-39)<br /><br />To me that speaks to the fact that Nicodemus did accept and believe in Jesus but wasn't brave enough to come out publicly as a follower until after His death. <br /><br />I love that grace is given even to those of us who take a little bit longer to accept it! :) thanks for you comment!
