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.
