Pastor preached a really good sermon today, focusing on our words:
Acts 8:32
He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
Matthew 27:12-14
When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer. Then Pilate asked him, Don't you hear the testimony they are bringing against you? But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge....
Pastor went on to question how we react ... it says Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge.... Pastor asked "Have you ever been mis-understood? and after the person has really let you have it, how much does your flesh cry out to jump right back, claws out, ready for a fight."
The point of the his sermon was, sometimes the Holy Spirit will tell you to just BE QUIET, shut that mouth of ours, and make no reply, not even to a single charge.
