Look and mourn...
by Spurgeon-
"They shall look upon Me whom they have
pierced and they shall mourn..." Zech. 12:10
I have no love for a 'dry-eyed faith'.
Those who behold His wounds are themselves wounded;
those who gaze upon His pierced heart are themselves
pierced to the heart-- no, they are pierced in the heart,
and they who, by faith, see the flowing of His precious
blood, feel their very heart bleed on account of Him,
and all that He endured on their behalf.
A sight of His crucifixion crucifies sin!
A sight of His death-- if it is a true sight--
is the death of all love of sin.
"They shall look upon Me whom they have
pierced and they shall mourn..." Zech. 12:10
