Zechariah 10:6 (ESV Strong's)
“I will strengthen the house of Judah,
and I will save the house of Joseph.
I will bring them back because I have compassion on them,
and they shall be as though I had not rejected them,
for I am the Lord their God and I will answer them.
Subject: God's Grace and Mercy and Forgiveness
Zechariah is the Minor Prophet who tells us the most about the Messiah. There are many references to the Messiah and His ministry in this powerful prophetic book. The above prophecy is the core of those prophecies. In the restoration of Judah and Israel, the Messiah is going to strengthen and save the house of Joseph and the house of Judah. The key phrase (that typifies the New Testament) is, "I will bring them back because I have compassion on them." Are there any words greater or better in any language than those words? God has compassion on us because His compassion is forever and eternal. This is the core of God's grace, mercy and forgiveness. God is gracious. He is always extending His grace. His salvation is about His reaching out to those who don't deserve it and giving them His grace. God will "bring us back".
