Day 17 - But Jesus Remained Silent
Day 17 of our 47-day journey with Jesus to the cross.
Author & Voice: Chase Akin
Before false witnesses and twisted accusations, Jesus remains silent—not out of weakness, but out of sovereign confidence in the Father’s plan. When the decisive question comes, He breaks that silence to declare His true identity as the Son of Man who will be seated at the right hand of Power. In this episode, we learn that we do not overcome lies by frantic self-defense, but by standing firmly in the unshakable truth of who Christ is—and who we are in Him.
Scripture
- Matthew 26:63
Reflection Questions
- What false accusations have you been trying to defend yourself against instead of resting in who God says you are?
- How might silence reveal lies you’ve been believing that you need to counter with God’s truth about your identity?
Kid-Friendly Question
- If someone said something mean and untrue about you, would it be better to argue with them or remember what your parents say is true about you?
Spiritual Practice - Silence & Stillness
Today, practice Jesus’ approach to lies and truth in the quiet.
Prepare forSilence (10 minutes):Find a completely quiet space. No music, no phone, no distractions. Sit comfortably and invite the Holy Spirit to reveal both lies you’ve believedand truths you need to embrace.
Listen to the voices (5 minutes):Don’t be surprisedif accusations get louder in the silence. Write down what you hear without defendingor arguing. You might hear: “You’re not really a Christian,” “God is disappointed in you,” “You’ll never change,” “You’re not valuable.”
Combat with Truth (10 minutes):For each lie, don’t try to analyze where it came from or why it’s wrong. Instead, declare a specific truth from Scripture about your identity in Christ or listen to the Spirit remind you of truth.
