Job 14:1-14: Man isn't like a tree that can come back to life. We lay down and don't wake up. But then in verses 13-14: Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would conceal me until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time and remember me. If mortals die, will they live again? All the days of my service I would wait until my release should come. ..... I think maybe we live in the memories of others.
Lamentations 3:1-9, 19-24: The writer is locked away in the tomb, his prayers unanswered. But then in the last verses: But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him." .....Even in our darkest moments, we can hope that someone is getting help.
Psalm 31:1-4: God is our refuge and fortress.
1st Peter 4:1-8: Love one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
Matthew 27:57-66: Joseph of Arimathea buries Jesus's body in the tomb and the Pharisees post a guard.
John 19:38-42: Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus wrap Jesus's body in spices and linen and bury him in the tomb.
