God hath spoken in his holiness. Psalms 60:6a
But thou art holy. Psalms 22:3a
God is holy. He reveals holy wisdom, acts with holy power, and speaks with holy words. Yet at Calvary He spoke in holy silence. As our sins were laid on His Son, God demonstrated His holiness by judging sin and remaining silent to the Lord’s anguished cry. At the same time He displayed holy grace, holy mercy, and holy love towards sinners. On the cross our Lord Jesus testified to God’s holiness by replying to His silence, “But thou art holy” (Ps. 22:3). Today may we lift our hearts and worship our God in the beauty of holiness. —George Ferrier
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love and purity.
—R. Heber
