Zechariah: A Gift of Vision (Deeper Life Pulpit Commentary)

There are times when God's people need to hear from Him again.The Jews in Zechariah's time recognized this need. Under the bondage of Babylon, they had experienced the strain of slavery, the burden of an oppressive environment, the misery of disobedience. But God had a personalized message forYou can't discern the way things are...You can't discern the way things should be...You can't discern the way things will be...without my gift of vision.Israel needed a new perspective on life, new eyes to see God purposes in what was happening around them. They took the long way around, but they finally came back to God.Their story line may be different from ours. But these same messages reach across the centuries to thisI have not forgotten you! I remember you! Point your life in my direction."Return to me...and I will return to you."
