Paragraph 3. JESUS CHRIST WAS BURIED
624
“By the grace of God” Jesus tasted death “for every
one”.459 In his plan of salvation, God ordained that his Son
should not only “die for our sins”460 but should also
“taste death”, experience the condition of death, the separation of
his soul from his body, between the time he expired on the cross and the time
he was raised from the dead. the state of the dead Christ is the mystery of the
tomb and the descent into hell. It is the mystery of Holy Saturday, when
Christ, lying in the tomb,461 reveals God’s great sabbath
rest462 after the fulfilment463 of man’s salvation, which
brings peace to the whole universe.464
