Psalm 50:3: Our God comes
and will not be silent.
God’s judgment is a great comfort for the Christian. God’s voice is a great comfort for the Christian. In this Lent, we need to give thanks to God for not allowing the monologue of evil to triumph. In God’s world, the voice from heaven shuts the voice from hell. The crucifixion appeared to be a sign that finally God’s voice was silenced by the seed of the serpent. But Easter’s voice came like a thunderous proclamation and declared once and for all: Our God comes and will not be silent. Lent prepares our voices to join in the chorus of the empty tomb.
