Zechariah 12:6

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Zechariah 12:6. And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands?

"You wear the marks usually seen in God’s servants; you have scarred yourself as his prophets were accustomed to do, you have, as it were, tattooed yourself with the name of your God, what does it all mean?" But he shall be so ashamed of it that-

Zechariah 12:6. Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

He shall say anything rather than confess that he is a false prophet, he shall be so ashamed of himself. What a mercy it is when God makes men ashamed of sin, and when he makes them so ashamed of false doctrine that they cannot bear it, and will not any longer proclaim it! Oh, that that day were already come!

This exposition consisted of readings from Psalms 51; and Zechariah 12:10-14; Zechariah 13:1-6.
