John Gill emphasizes the significance of Christ's burial as the final act of His humiliation, fulfilling scriptural prophecies and types. He explains that Christ's burial was necessary to demonstrate the reality of His death and to signify the complete atonement for sin. Gill highlights that Christ's body was laid in a rich man's tomb, symbolizing both His lowly state and the glory of His resurrection. The sermon also reflects on the implications of Christ's burial for believers, illustrating how it sanctifies the grave and signifies the burial of their sins. Ultimately, Gill reassures that through Christ's burial, believers can find hope and assurance in their own resurrection.

C.H. Spurgeon delivers a powerful sermon titled 'An Awful Contrast,' reflecting on the profound humiliation of Christ as he faced contempt from the high priest Caiaphas and the religious leaders who spat in his face. Spurgeon emphasizes the depth of human depravity revealed in this act, contrasting it with the divine love and patience of Christ, who endured such shame for humanity's sake. He warns that even those in positions of religious authority can become enemies of Christ, and he calls for self-examination among believers to recognize how they may also dishonor Him. The sermon culminates in a reminder of the future judgment when Christ, once despised, will return as the sovereign Judge, urging listeners to seek His grace and prepare for that day.
