One of the greatest blessings in the Bible is often missed and over looked by believers. It is the burial of Jesus Christ! The burial of Jesus is a blessing to you. Because not only have you died with Him, you have been buried with Him.
When Jewish people died in Bible times, they were immediately embalmed with special oils and wrapped in linen. The body was hidden and buried in a tomb. That is what Jesus has done with your old body of sin. Not only have you been crucified with Christ, you have been buried with Christ.
Why the emphasis? So that you will not be haunted by the ghost of guilt. The devil will try to remind you what you were. Don't let him do it! Don't go prowling around in the dead bones of your old life. It is gone by the GRACE of GOD!
"And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures."
