Death is inevitable and we all will die someday. The only thing I pray about is that we all should grow old before we die. That’s going to be good.
Embalming dead bodies is nit a new thing to Christians and even Brother Eli used the Egyptians and Isrealites as examples.
Then, when people die, they embalm the body of their loved ones.
For us to know that this is not a new act, it is written in the book of Genesis 50:26 that, So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt
So many Christians see embalming the body as a way to show respect and love for the dead person.
Would you believe that was done to Jesus too and it is in the book of John 19:39 which says;
And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture or myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight
That’s how it has always been done and if it was done to Jesus, that means it is the way people should be buried in Christianity.
