Day 27 of our 47-day journey with Jesus to the cross.

Author & Voice: Jerrika Dickerson

Standing before Pilate and facing false accusations, Jesus offers no defense—fulfilling the prophecy of the suffering servant who “did not open His mouth.” His silence was not weakness, but quiet confidence rooted in the Father’s plan and the truth of God’s Word. This episode invites us to step away from the noise of our world, anchor our hearts in Scripture, and discover the steady peace that comes from trusting the voice of God above every other voice.

Scripture

1. Matthew 27:14

Reflection Questions

1. How would your week look different if you truly believed that God's Word could anchor your heart and guide your reactions? What one intentional step can you take to make Scripture a louder voice in your life?
2. What voices have been shaping your thoughts lately — social media, news, opinions, or God’s Word? What changes might you need to make to tune into God's voice more clearly?

Spiritual Practice - Meditation & Memorization

Jesus’ silence before Pilate wasn’t weakness—it was the Word alive in Him. Isaiah had written, “He did not open His mouth…like a lamb led to the slaughter.” Jesus knew Scripture so deeply that it shaped His response.

This week, let His Word shape yours.

1. Write it. Copy Matthew 27:14 and Isaiah 53:7 by hand.
2. Repeat it. Read them aloud morning and night, slowing down on each phrase.
3. Chew on it. When tempted to react or defend yourself, whisper: “He gave no answer.”
4. Keep it. Memorize both verses by week’s end. Let them anchor your peace and guide your tongue.
