“And Pilate asked him again saying, answerest thou nothing? Behold how many things they witness against thee. But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marveled”. (Mark 15:3,4,5). Such silence fulfills the scripture concerning our Redeemer found in Isaiah 53:7 without question; He was as a sheep led to the slaughter and He opened not His mouth. Yet do we not see other wonderful things contained in our Lord’s ‘silence’. Silence as showing full and complete submission to the Fathers will concerning Himself Silence revealing that Christ was absolutely and totally in control of this and every-other situation that was ‘before determined by the counsel of God’. Silence because He was to be made sin for us, who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. This He was to experience for the first time in His natural life and the weight lay heavy upon Him. Lastly, and you think about this, He was silent because He is such a perfect substitute and representative for us that He was silent as a malefactor, as a guilty sinner; like you and I. When a person is caught in the crime or has no excuse for their guilt they are usually very quite and close their mouth! Shut up to the situation at hand. No, Christ did not sin nor was He guilty in and of Himself; but as our substitute; He is guilty, He must suffer the result of bearing our guilt, grief and sin. Oh my soul, what a perfect, wonderful and incredible Redeemer we have in Jesus. I realize that there are many times that I must shut my mouth because I’ve sinned, I’ve wronged someone or done very foolishly; but never my Lord, never my Kinsmen Redeemer: but wait, yes He did, when He did all for me upon Calvary’s tree. I am forever His and this is just the way I desire it to be. Tell me where He is that I might feed with Him and fellowship with those who are of the same mind and spirit indeed.
