In decision-making, there are people who type "risk takers" [risk takers], there is also a "safety player" [players secure]. The same apparently found also in declared faith. No vote to play safe, but some are willing to take the risk.
Joseph of Arimatea including believers who dare to take risks. Watch what he did: he took care of everything so that Jesus received a proper burial (verses 52-53). Prior to this event, the name Joseph of Arimatea was never mentioned, let alone declared se-as followers of Christ. He is a member of the great Assembly (paragraph 50), the Director behind the drama of the crucifixion of Jesus. Contrary to the ruling of the Tribunal which made Jesus appear as a villain, Joseph treat Jesus as a person.

Good faith! --ENO
