Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
In silence Jesus suffers beatings, scourging, spitting, mockery, and beard plucking. He utters not a word as nails gash His hands and feet, fastening Him to a cruel cross which soon turns crimson red with a fountain of blood.
Jesus could’ve spoken the word and the iron in the nails would’ve crawled back into the earth. He could’ve called 10,000 angels to set him free. But this God-Man laid down His life as a lamb to the slaughter.
His love for sinners was ever so great. Taking our sins upon Himself, Jesus died in our place. You see, the wages of sin is death --- and all have sinned. The righteousness of Jesus for our filthy rags of sin is far from a fair trade. But amazing grace makes us worthy to be called a child of God. When we believe on Jesus, he forgives our sins and gives us eternal life. .
