Zechariah 12:10 – “And I will pour a spirit of mercy and
compassion on My people, and they shall look on Him Whom they pierced, and they
shall mourn for Him as for an only child and weep bitterly for Him as one weeps
over a firstborn.”
Lord God, Heavenly Father, we can’t begin to imagine how much You suffered! Lifted high on the cross for all to look upon, Your Son felt the nails, brutally piercing His hands and feet. Below the cross His mother wept, and surely You did too.
Thinking about this moment also draws our tears, but only momentarily
for we know the ending. We know Jesus Christ arose from the dead, appeared to many,
comforted His mother and followers, and ascended into Heaven, where He pours
out His Holy Spirit of mercy and compassion onto His people – onto us! Praise
God!
