Isa 53.7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
This was Jesus' reaction when he was tortured for doing nothing wrong. Genesis 3.1-15 The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree..." Cover-ups, Hiding, Blaming; This was man's reaction when he did wrong. Excuses, Denial, Shifting Responsibility. Emerson Eggerichs talked about a skunk and a rose. When the rose was stomped on, it gave off a beautiful aroma. When the skunk was stomped on, it gave off an ugly stench. When the pressure was applied, the true qualities came out. Ouch!
