Ecclesiastes 3:7 KJV

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

It is expcted that a man as great as Jesus, His birth would create natural and unnatural phenomenons here on earth. But His coming was so silent unto a choir of angels made it known. Then after fleeing from King Herod, we heard notting about him (with one exception) for thirty years. Christ had never referred to those thirty years. Why did he keep silent? He did this to teach us the nature of obidence.

obidence is not just doing everything God says, it is not drawing the attention of others to what we are doing, He was also teaching us to be content with the father's approval. Is God's approval enough for you even when men despise and hate you?. Christ with all His anointing waited for thirty years for His Father's approval before He could act.

• Isaiah 57:11 KJV

• And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?

The woman who washed Christ feet, was a great sinner. To the point that even peter wondered why his master allowed her to touch Him. Christ did not speak of her sin, He allowed her wash His feet and weep at His feet, there was no casting up of her old sins, no upbraiding. Without Him speaking a word she knew she was

Does God not also do this to us?

The woman feared Jesus like the others would rebuke her, her heart might have been broken with pains. But the silence of Jesus drew her closer.
