Waited for the kingdom of God; he believed that Jesus was the Messiah, and expected that he would soon set up his kingdom.

Boldly; he was inspired by the Holy Spirit with courage, notwithstanding the Saviour was dead, thus to show his attachment to him. Jesus Christ sometimes has friends where we should least expect them. They may be associated with the wicked, and yet, through grace, be kept from being partakers of their sins. On the other hand, exceedingly wicked men may be connected with the people of God. In the council which condemned the Saviour was Joseph waiting for the kingdom of God; while among the apostles, Christ's chosen friends, was Judas who betrayed him. Luke 23:51.
