30 pieces of silver

What would you pay to be rid of God, His word, His people, your conscience?

Zechariah 11

• The people destroyed (v. 1-6)
• The unsuccessful prophet (v. 7-14).
• The unrighteous shepherd (v. 15-17).

Meditation Points:

• Matthew 27:7
• If they will not have Christ, if they would sell Him for 30 pieces of silver (v. 12),
• then they will suffer at the hands of cruel shepherds (v. 16).

Zechariah 12

• If God is not the Creator, then why would we trust Him (v. 1)
• The trembling cup, the burdensome stone, and the fiery hearth, and the burning sheaf (v. 2-6) represent judgments upon the land.
• As a result, the people will be filled with astonishment, madness and blindness (v. 4).
• But God will avenge His name against His enemies (v. 9-10)
• Widespread mourning (v. 11-14).

Meditation points:

• John 19:35-37.
• Does the sight of Christ fill you with joy?
• Does knowing the crucified Christ cause you to mourn over your sin?
