In the passage below, what stuck out to me so much were the lines "suffered in silence"? This actually reminded me of the word I've been hearing this week during my church's Prayer Revival where, in Matt 26:36-44, those same lines applied to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. I thank God for allowing me to see how in verse 44, Jesus turned his suffering into his assignment. Coming off an 8-day Consecration Fast, these scriptures really blessed me... I hope it does the same for you...
1 Peter 2:21-25 MSG: "This is the kind of life you’ve been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, step-by-step. He never did one thing wrong, Not once said anything amiss. They called him every name in the book and he said nothing back. He suffered in silence, content to let God set things right. He used his servant body to carry our sins to the Cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing. You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going. Now you’re named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls."
