Passage of the Day - March 8, 2011

Zechariah 3:8-10

 ⁸'Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you--indeed they are men who are a symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the Branch.

 ⁹'For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it,' declares the LORD of hosts, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

 ¹⁰'In that day,' declares the LORD of hosts, 'every one of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.'"

Jesus, “the Branch”, took our sins away when He died on the cross.  Now we can have rest from the guilt, shame, and fear our sins create.  We can rest in the hope of the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to bring not only eternal, but also temporal peace.
