Meek as a lamb

"You must keep the Israelites separate from things that make them unclean, so they will not die in their uncleanness for defiling my dwelling place, which is among them." - Lev 15:31

"But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge - to the great amazement of the governor." - Matt 27:14

By remaining silent thrice when one was brought to church in the Roman times, the accused is assumed as guilty. Jesus, however, attempted to make no defense for himself. He could have pleaded not guilty for the accusations produced by the priests, but he chose not to. Instead, he stood in front of the governor, answering that He is the King of the Jews, yet meek as a lamb.

PRAYER:
"Dear Jesus, you are the King of kings and Lord of Lords, thank you for your unconditional love to die for my sins that I can be joined with our Father in heaven. Even as king, Jesus, you are ever so meek and gentle. Help me Lord, to be cultivate a heart of meekness as well, so that when I am wronged or insulted by self-righteous people, I will be slow, or will not even turn to anger or defence.
Father, would you also keep me separated from all the things that will make me unclean. Lord, sometimes the heart desires to repent, but because of our circumstance and the world we're in, the odds against us are so great. Therefore, Father, would you by your grace-given faith, grant me the strength to discipline the flesh so that all unclean acts can be separated from the body, the temple of God. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen."
