Zechariah 1-3

"See, I have removed your guilt from you, and I will clothe you with splendid robes" (3:4).

"If you will return to Me, I will return to you."  That is the hope-filled message that Zechariah has for God's people. They had been restored from the Babylonian captivity but had returned to some of the spiritual apathy and sin that had marked their forefathers. Zechariah is sent to call them to repentance and restoration.

  1. Yep... God shows His mercy again (and again and again it seems). Can't help but see Jesus loud and clear in that verse 3:4. And also 2:10-13. "....I am coming to dwell among you....many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day...I will dwell among you... be silent.. for He is coming from His holy dwelling."

    Sure sounds like John 1:14 to me. ..."The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His Glory, the glory of the One and only Who came from the Father full of grace and truth". And the truth that Jesus is coming for EVERYONE..."All nations"...Not just the chosen people.

    So awesome!! Praise God for all the chances He gives us!! And sends Jesus! Mercy me!!
