This camel found a way! Or better yet, God found a way for this camel to get through the eye of a needle!
We normally don't think of many of the followers of Jesus as rich. There surely weren't many who were rich; at least they weren't openly his followers. But a few were. What is amazing here is that Joseph picks the absolutely worst time to show his allegiance to Jesus! Joseph is identifying himself with one who was now viewed as the scum of the earth, a man apparentley cursed by God, a supposed criminal executed by Rome, and a Jew condemned to death by the religious ruling counsel and the High Priest. There is nothing to gain by his identifying himself with Jesus, at least nothing apparent. But that didn't stop Joseph! He was a follower, and he was willing to follow Jesus all the way through the cross. He was willing to become unclean for Passover by handling the dead body of Jesus. Joseph did for Jesus what was decent, loving, tender, and right. And he did it when there appeared to be nothing to gain in doing so.
I don't know about you, but I want to be like Joseph. While there is so much talk about the Apostles—their power and their authority—Joseph does what none of them did, and what none of them could. I'd surely like to do the same!
