“It Is As You Say”

“It Is As You Say”

Blessings folk!

The plot and plan of the Jewish leadership progressed.
God was not surprised.
It had been prophesied.

Watch…

Mar 15:1-5

Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus,
they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.

Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
And He answered him, “It is as you say.”

The chief priests began to accuse Him harshly.

Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying,
“Do You not answer? See how many charges they bring against You!”

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

Pilate asked a direct question.
“Are You the King of the Jews?”

Jesus answered directly.
“It is as you say.”

The religious leadership launched again with the accusations.
Harsh.
Lies.
Evil.

Pilate questioned Jesus.
He wanted to know why Jesus did not respond to the accusations.
Pilate was amazed.

Why did Jesus not respond?
Because the Father did not tell Him to.
This was prophesied centuries before…

Isa 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.

Jesus was “silent before its shearers”…the religious rulers.
He did speak to the political leadership.

This passage in Isaiah was also found later in the Word…

Act 8:32
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.

Jesus knew the Word.
Jesus knew the Father.
Jesus did only that which Father instructed.

May we do likewise.
