Christ & Isaiah

He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. From prison and trial they led him away to his death. But who among the people realized that he was dying for their sins-that he was suffering their punishment? He had done no wrong, and he never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man's grave. Isaiah 53:7-9 NLT

It's amazing to me how completely Jesus fulfilled prophecies about Himself.

But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge–to the great amazement of the governor. Matthew 27:14 NIV

He knew that answering his accusers would accomplish nothing, and there was no need to defend Himself. And by staying silent, except when asked if he really was the King of the Jews, He fulfilled scripture to the letter.

It's just another reason why I love Him.
