SILENCE

God has taught us 

BE SILENT when BEING OPPRESSED and AFFLICTED

Isaiah 42:2

“He will not cry out or raise His voice,

Nor make His voice heard in the street.

Matthew 12:19

“He will not quarrel, nor cry out;

Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

Isaiah 53:7

He was oppressed and He was afflicted,

Yet He did not open His mouth;

Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,

And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,

So He did not open His mouth.

Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:

“He was led as a sheep to slaughter;

And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,

So He does not open His mouth.

But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate was amazed.

And he questioned Him at some length; but He answered him nothing.

and he entered into the Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;
