Well, in case you are wondering what that means, so did I a few minutes ago! I just picked that out of a poster on the wall in front of my desk. I am random like that :). This is one of those days that I really really feel like posting something on my blog, I have plenty of fantastic ideas but I just don’t have the words to actualize them in writing. So I’ve decided to go with the flow and just use what I have and my eyes led me to this writing on the wall. Journey with me and lets see where it’s going to lead us to 🙂
Google translate is epic, in a twisted way. So I type in the words and it tells me the writing on my wall is Galician!?! Very funny google translate! I didn’t even know there is a language called Galician. Anyway, I work with Italians and I probably know that the writing is in Italian, so I google again and finally, the writing on my wall means ” Silence is an Art”. This is not something new to me, I’ve heard it before. It’s interesting though that the writing has been sitting on my wall for over the 2 years I have been here and I’ve never really paid attention to it until a few minutes ago.
The Bible has become my favorite book, so much one can learn from it, and it’s very interesting. Sometimes I get carried away and read it like a novel, it’s so captivating especially when you are devoted wholeheartedly to reading it. I was reading a chapter in it a few days ago about Jesus and dying on the cross. I still do not know where I am heading to with this, but so help me God I get the words right.
There is no one person that has gone through many trials and tribulations in their lifetime like Jesus did. He was a righteous man, blameless without sin, holy, the Son of God, yet so many people were against Him. Can you imagine the whole world crying for your blood and wanting you dead yet you are blameless? If I were in His shoes, I would have thought like damn, my father is God, I mean he is all mighty in every literal sense. Why do I have to suffer if he can take me away from these blood thirsty people? Of course, I am only human, and not perfect in any sense, that’s why He is Jesus, and I am just a sinner.
He knew why He had to suffer, He knew that all those people who wanted Him dead were sinners. He could have rebuked them, but He stayed silent. I mean, there is no one who knows this saying better than Jesus did “Tacere e un Arte”. How could I be silent if I knew my death was near and I had no fault? How could I be calm and ready for my death when I could save my self from the sinners? Thinking of all this is just unfathomable but God had better plans for Jesus and for all of us as human beings.
Jesus knew His death would bring salvation to mankind. Jesus knew His death would earn Him a spot on the right hand side of God. The art of silence is just not about staying literally silent, but knowing what good lies ahead of us despite our suffering. Jesus went through A LOT. Sometimes I think I have gone through it all, but when I think of Jesus and his sufferings, more so His suffering because of our sins, I am not even close to having it as bad as He did. I have not had to put up with suffering to the point of death, but He did. And for that, I praise God.
I have no closing for this, but in every situation, check the writing on the wall, it could reveal more to you that you may anticipate for 🙂
