Jesus Christ: Silent Before Accusers

Jesus Christ: Silent Before Accusers

“He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.”
– Isaiah 53:7

Hundreds of years before Christ, Isaiah looked prophetically into the future and declared that the Messiah would be silent before His accusers. That is exactly what happened with Jesus.

“And the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?’ But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, ?I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!’” – Matthew 26:62-63

There are times when it is better to be silent than to speak.
