How does Christ's burial reflect His humility?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's burial in a borrowed tomb highlights His humility and identification with humanity.

The burial of Christ in a borrowed tomb illustrates the depths of His humility. In life, He had nowhere to lay His head, and in death, He was laid in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy man who provided his own sepulcher. This act of being buried in another's tomb reinforces the nature of Christ’s humility and identifies Him with sinners, as He was born into a humble setting and now laid to rest in a manner that mirrored our mortality. Christ's humble burial serves to comfort believers about their own mortality, as He has experienced the fullness of human life and death.
