Fictional account of Joseph of Arimathea. Joseph is a member of the Sanhedrin, the supreme Jewish council. In the final days of Jesus' Life, the leaders of the Sanhedrin endeavor to thwart the mission of the Savior. Joseph is torn between his newfound faith and belief in Jesus and his allegiance to the Sanhedrin, His family, and his job. Not only does he ultimately give up everything for his devotion to the gospel, but he also demonstrates the greatest act of compassion; he pleads for the body of Christ from Pontius Pilate. Joseph takes Him down from the cross, washes and annoints Him, and places HIm in Joseph's own tomb. This story demonstrates the ultimate sacrifice we, as humans, can make-giving up everything we have for the Savior.
