The One Who was Pierced

Scripture Zechariah 12:10 “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.

Observation: There are over 300 prophesies about Jesus and this is one of them. When the soldier had to determine of Jesus was dead on the cross, He was pierced with a spear. He died for all of us that would believe in Him and suffered more than anyone could imagine. God requires faith to believe but He also leaves us so much evidence that Jesus is the Son of God.

Application: I need to spread that gospel that Jesus is the son of God and only through Him will we receive salvation. Tell others about an unbelievable love that saved each one of us. Fulfill my commission to spread the gospel of my Lord.

Prayer My Lord thank you for a love that I can’t possibly understand the depth, but saved a sinner like me. Use me as You desire to fulfill the purpose You have created me for. I love you so much can’t wait to tell You that in person.
