The silence of the Lamb
Psalm 22:1-2
David felt it
Jesus felt it
The silence of the Lamb
Babies?Gen. 18:15 - How did Abraham know that?•Dt. 1:39 - Age of accountability•Jonah 4:10-11 - Small children and animals, too??•Mt. 18:1-14 - God's attitude
The silence of the Lamb
Suicide•Not a word except...•John 3:14-16, 18; 5:24; 6:47; 11:25-27•Eternal life is just that•"Losing it" is not an issue•"Never had it" is possible, but misrepresented
The silence of the Lamb
Suicide
After all, if the end of people who commit suicide is not good, why not tell them?
God tells them about hell.
The silence of the Lamb
Just as with the unborn and small children, so with suicide, God is wise enough to know what
to say and what not to say.
Those who know Him need not question.
It's not just ok that He is silent; it is better.
The silence of the Lamb
I know when He is silent because of the footprints in the sand.
I know because of His revealed word.
I know because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, yes, and forever!
The silence of the Lamb
Why the silence?
Because it is wise
Because it is better
Because it is best
How do we know what God will say or do when He is silent?
By what He says and does when He is not; because of who He is.
If God is silent, it is for good reason. It is because silence is best. It is because He is
wise.
The silence of the Lamb
With God, silence is not only golden.
It is brilliant.
