Verse 10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son."
As the Israelites look upon Jesus, at the end of days, they will mourn for the wounds they inflicted upon him.
We all will. Jesus died for the sins of the world, not just the sins of Israel.
Christianity begins with realizing what God has done has for us and why God had to do it. It begins with mourning because our sins are the cause of His death.
And how does God respond?
By pouring out grace upon us all. Better yet, by drenching us with grace.
Have you ever been caught in a rainstorm without an umbrella and every bit of you gets wet? The water goes right through your clothes and by the time you take them off you realize your entire body is soaked, every inch of skin.
That is the kind of grace God dumps on us.
And the good news is no towel will wipe it off.
