Matthew  

Christ's burial is often skipped and treated as less important than His substitutionary death and resurrection. Still, it is an integral part of the Gospel (I Cor. 15:3-4) and is filled with the providential activity of God.
“through His sovereign providence, God is able to take the virtually infinite number of events and circumstances, as well as innumerable personal attitudes, ambitions, and abilities that exist in the natural and demonic worlds and cause them all to work together in meticulous precision to perfectly fulfil His divine will. Multiple myriads of individual and seemingly random plans, choices, actions, and events continually work together in a divinely synchronized strategy to perform God’s destined plan." John MacArthur
This sovereign providence of God is displayed fully during the burial of the king Jesus Christ.
