Smite The Shepherd

“And one shall say unto him, what are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones” (Zech. 13:6, 7.)

I could hardly read these words from the pulpit the other day; I was so ashamed of my sin and the heavy burden of MY iniquities as they laid hard upon my Savior! I know first hand the hollow feelings and utter heart brokenness of being double crossed and stabbed in the back by a close ‘friend’. But this is exactly what I did to my Redeemer.

I was taught from a early religious age that ‘I was Jesus’ friend’, ‘He was my friend’, we were buddies from the time I was born, on and on went the lies, so much so that as a young adult I was totally convinced that I was His true friend. Then in mercy and grace I saw that I actually killed Him, it was my sins that nailed Him to the cross and indeed He was wounded by the friends of His own house-hold. I know that this does have reference to the Jewish nation, but my heart knows more of the plain truth than my head in this instance! Now, coupled with the utter shame and physical disgust that was His because of me and my rebellion, take the 7th verse and apply all the soul anguish charged to the Son of God on my behalf and I suppose you may have the two consecutive most horrific verses in all the scriptures.

The absolute filth that makes up me and the absolute sufferings applied and digested by the pure, sinless and majestic Lord of Glory! This is almost too much for me to stand up and proclaim to a people who need to hear this just like I have been told the night before by the spirit of grace and supplication. Oh help me Lord, my betrayal of you cuts deep into my heart, I look to you and amazingly you will not hold such depravity against me because I have gained more in Christ than I lost in Adam or committed on my own accord. Thank you, thank you, I am your servant, do with me as you will.
