You will find the words “on that day” repeated often as you read through Zechariah, especially in chapter 12. What are we to understand of that day of which the Prophet speaks? It is the day of salvations fullness. It alludes to the person and work of the Cross. We live - right now - in the midst of that day!
Today is the day the Prophet had in mind, and so we are exhorted, “as long as it is called today if you hear the Lord’s voice do not harden your hearts.” And so this is a message of hope. But be warned, the term “day” implies this offer is not to last for ever. It is just a day, one day, one opportunity and soon the day will conclude and the overtures of grace and mercy and forgiveness and salvation and hope will pass. I am hoping that you are sensing the urgency of this plea - TODAY. I am hoping that you understand the necessity to act now, without delay. The work of Christ is offered here - in the very words of this page - come now - today in response the Gospel.
