Zechariah 10:1-12

FROM JUDAH WILL COME THE CORNERSTONE

Keywords 10:4

From Judah will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler.

 

1. The LORD Almighty will care for his flock (1-5)

God invites us to ask him for his blessing. Idols are deceitful, and people wander

due to poor leaders. They need a good shepherd. God our Shepherd has raised up

for us a good leader, the Lord Jesus. As a cornerstone, he is our one foundation.

As a tent peg he stabilizes us, expanding our influence and withstanding harsh

winds. As our battle bow he has fought and defeated our enemy, Satan. He rules

over us with justice and peace, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to

shame.

 

2. In his name they will live securely (6-12)

God promises to strengthen and save his people, whose children had been

scattered here and there. God will gather, redeem and bless them to return. We

too long for our children to know his joy. Only in Jesus are we and our children

strengthened. Only in his name may we live securely.

 

Prayer Father, thank you for Jesus our cornerstone. Strengthen me in his name

today.

One Word Jesus is our cornerstone
